What's In, Who's Out: Issues in Capturing the History of a Technological Moment in History

This is a submission to the 3rd Annual Social Informatics SIG Research Symposium: The Social Web, Social Computing and the Social Analysis of Computing

Without the Internet there would be no Open Access (OA) movement. The movement, like social networks, was born digital. But how do you capture the history of a movement that, like a document, was born digital? How successful are traditional methodologies in capturing OAĆ¢ s past? My goal in this short paper is to identify the issues that I have encountered in my own research in order to assist others who may be considering a similar inquiry.
