Digital methods, technologies, and formats have increasingly gained
traction in the study of life narratives and biographical data, as
well as in the presentation of historical lives. Auto/biographical
research and practice are aided significantly by biographical research
databases and platforms, biographical online dictionaries, digital
editions of historical life documents as well as community- and
institutionally driven online archives and web-based collaborative
Wiki formats, which are characterised by accessibility, searchability,
and user-orientedness. In addition, they often encourage interactive
participation, and generally open up new quantitative and qualitative
pathways / approaches to biographical research.

Notwithstanding their vast potential, digital tools and platforms and
their uses often reveal a tension between research, on the one hand,
and the communication of this research to a broader public and
multiple audience groups, on the other. We are keen on stimulating an
interdisciplinary dialogue between life writing theories and digital
methodologies
