English abstract

The networked society has caused a significant growth of born-digital information, which is created, shared and managed through complex communication systems. Within this context, archivists have questioned the relevance of traditional archival theories and practices. This article examines the implications of the networked society to archival science, with a focus on social media archives. It argues that if we agree that archives are important agents for the construction of society's collective memories then we need to recognize that social media content is part of the human experience and therefore worthy of consideration por its selection and long-term preservation. Finally, the article identifies challenges and opportunities in the management of social media archives by explaining the preservation of President Barack Obama's social media archives and the creation of a collection of tweets about the 2017 students' strike at the University of Puerto Rico.

Spanish abstract

La sociedad interconectada por redes ha generado un aumento vertiginoso en información de origen digital. Además, la información es creada, compartida y manejada a través de sistemas complejos de comunicación. Ante esta realidad, archivistas han cuestionado la pertinencia de teorías y prácticas archivísticas para el manejo adecuado de esta información. Este artículo estudia las implicaciones de esta sociedad interconectada a la teoría y práctica archivística, con un enfoque en los contenidos de las redes sociales. Se argumenta que si aceptamos que los archivos son constructores de las memorias de la sociedad y agentes para la documentación de la experiencia humana, entonces debemos reconocer que la información generada a través de las redes sociales es parte de esa experiencia humana, y, por tanto, es importante considerar su selección y preservación. Finalmente, a través de dos ejemplos, la preservación de los archivos de redes sociales de la presidencia de Barack Obama y la creación de una colección de tuits sobre la huelga de la Universidad de Puerto Rico, se identifican desafíos y oportunidades en su tratamiento.
