Abstract

This article discusses the design of a culturally-tailored digital archive with the Samaritan community in Israel and the Palestinian Authority. The aim is to bring together two distinct groups of users - textual scholars and members of the Israelite Samaritan community - both of whom have a significant stake in the cultural and scholarly value of the Samaritan Archive, via an online environment in which they can view and interpret the Samaritan texts, interact with members of their respective communities, and interact with one another.
