| Sumario: | Online filmed storytelling archives have become a growing trend in societies emerging from conflict as an attempt to both ‘account for’ and ‘undo’ the past. This article examines Northern Ireland’s Prisons Memory Archive as a case study in order to understand the broader implications of the digitalization of conflict narratives within transitional settings. The article uses an interdisciplinary approach combining archival studies, psychology, transitional justice and memory studies to provide an analytical basis for interviews with the subjects of the digital film archive. Examination of the accidental outcomes of agency and cross-community contact from this digitally available film archive suggests that a more intentional framework must be developed in order to best utilize these platforms as tools for social change in transition. |
