Abstract

This essay explores the importance of social networking and communication tools in the field of archival ethnography, putting a special emphasis on the research e-learning program “People coming from Mt Pelion” (Kapaniaris & Varvounis 2019a). The main concern of this paper was whether social networking and communication tools are collection, display and recording tools or just parallel digital notebooks. The use of social networking tools and communication tools in archival ethnography had as their scope the archives of people coming from Mt Pelion who migrated to Egypt from 1860 to 1960 (Konstantinidis 1936). Mt Pelion in the region of Magnesia is a part of the regional unit of Thessaly, Greece. The research was carried out under the scientific supervision of the Laboratory of Folklore and Social Anthropology of the Department of History and Ethnology of the Democritus University of Thrace.
