Summary/Abstract: The text is about the unusual history of the creation of the archive and the characteristics of digitized materials from the Institute of Ethnology and Cultural Anthropology of the University of Łódź creating a digital photo repository. The story of the creation of the collection and the forms of its sharing will be a reflection on the emergence of new contexts for the reception and interpretation of collected artifacts. From the family archive, through the Archives of Institutions (IEiAK UŁ) to the digital repository available on the Internet. At each of these levels, there is a transformation of content and ranges of impact and access to materials. I would like to look at these re-figurations, transformations, ways of using resources, read the changing formula of archiving, among others in the perspective of the Bruno Latour network theory-actor, treat the archive, repository as a laboratory of sources and research activities and servers, for example, as heterotopy.
