Crossing Fonds -- Pollinating Access and Interpretation – Building a Space for Online Collaboration

Crossing Fonds is an online archive platform that addresses the need to formalize collaborative access across institutional, community and counter archives; enable research, scholarship, and reinterpretation of collections through inclusive filters; and collaboratively produce a replicable open-source digital ecosystem/platform. Bringing together these distinct types of archives raises the range of interest in digital materials on the part of their users and does so in a spirit of collaboration, reciprocity, co-design, and co-learning.
