The paper analyses approaches taken during the projects’ development to matters of spatial and digital curation. It considers how they engaged with the idea of collaboratively-produced ‘histories from below’ and with the cultural heritage sector priority of discoverability. It concludes by noting some emerging questions connected with the projects’ longer-term physical and virtual materialisation.
