Migrants all over the world have left multiple traces in different countries, and this cultural heritage is of growing interest to researchers and to the migrant communities themselves. Cultural heritage institutions, however, have dwindling funds and resources to meet the demand for the heritage of immigrant communities to be protected. In this ar...

... with data relating to the life courses of virtually all Dutch-Australian emigrants from 1945 to 1992 (van Faassen 2014b;Hoekstra 2005). The longer-term intent is to extend the linked archives to other cultural heritage collections to understand aspects of migration that could previously only be viewed in isolation or were not visible at all (see fig. 2). The study of life courses has tended to focus on either the micro level or the macro level. The micro (close-reading) historical approach is predominantly qualitative in nature, relying on biographical interpretations of the lives of individuals. The macro (distant-reading) historical method is serial in nature and distinguishes ...

These transitions are significant not only due to the practical challenges of managing information across different languages, but also because of the affective and cultural implications of maintaining the native language in a new environment (Krtali� c, 2021). ...
... Each of these factors shape how families navigate a new linguistic environment. Legacy preservation involves sustaining cultural and familial heritage through managing personal collections, such as photographs, documents, and religious items, which are essential for passing down cultural knowledge (Arthur et al., 2018;Krtali� c, 2021). Retaining the native language is critical for maintaining identity and continuity, supporting Verkuyten et al.'s (2018) arguments about its emotional and cultural significance in migrant communities. ...
Purpose: This study explores multilingual information transitions experienced by migrant families, examining the factors that shape these transitions from the lens of information behavior. The research focuses on understanding how migrant families navigate and adapt to new information landscapes while integrating multiple languages into their daily lives.
Design/methodology/approach: This study used a qualitative phenomenological approach, conducting 16 in-depth interviews with migrants from diverse linguistic backgrounds to explore their experiences managing multilingual information. The analysis employed content analysis according to Moustakas (1994).
Findings: Findings reveal that migration prompts multilingual information transitions in daily routines, inter-familial interactions and extended family and community engagements. These transitions are shaped by factors such as the need to preserve the family heritage, maintain native language use as well as build and sustain relationships across linguistic boundaries. Migrant families adjust their information practices to navigate multilingual challenges, influencing their communication, documentation and connections with family and community.
Originality/value: The study presents a theoretical model that illustrates the interactions between information transitions and the factors influencing them, providing new insights into how multilingualism shapes family information behavior in the context of migration.
... This has included crowdsourcing, publishing, and the sharing of efforts [53]. By engaging citizens rather than working alone with academics, crowdsourcing can help open up and link resources to enable digital exploration of archival records and collections in the quest to discover, collect, and preserve knowledge that may otherwise be lost, offering a means to promote democratic and innovative approaches to the management and safeguarding of collections [58]. Rather than merely being an instrument to involve citizens in the delivery of better content to end users, crowdsourcing offers a way of enabling users to participate in the collection and archiving of previously 'untapped' external knowledge, expertise, and interest, thereby raising public awareness, transcending geo-political borders and boundaries, and promoting greater equality and democratization of knowledge [5,59,60]. ...
Democratizing access to information is an enabler for our digital future. It can transform how knowledge is created, preserved, and shared, and strengthen the connection between academics and the communities they serve. Yet, open scholarship is influenced by history and politics. This article explores the foundations underlying open scholarship as a quest for more just, equitable, and inclusive societies. It analyzes the origins of the open scholarship movement and explores how systemic factors have impacted equality and equity of knowledge access and production according to location, nationality, race, age, gender, and socio-economic circumstances. It highlights how the privileges of the global North permeate academic and technical standards, norms, and infrastructures. It also reviews how the collective design of more open and collaborative networks can engage a richer diversity of communities, enabling greater social inclusion, and presents key examples. By fostering dialogue with multiple stakeholders, more effective avenues for knowledge production and representation can be built based on approaches that are accessible, participatory, interactive, ethical, and transparent, and that reach a far broader public. This expansive vision of open science will lead to a more unified knowledge economy.
... Processes of selection and dispersion of information and heritage accumulate to make collections silos of information when they are digitized and datafied. In our case migration registration systems can play this pivotal role in connecting different types of information, ranging from personal files and stories to policy files and propaganda and including archive files, private collections, books, photos, moving images and sound, as well as digital communication such as Facebook and Instagram groups (Arthur et al., 2018). We argue that for exploring dispersed collections and for analysis, a serial resource is vital to interconnect dispersed cultural heritage and provide them with a logical context and make it possible to move beyond the impressionism of isolated case studies and cherry-picking. ...
... Subsequently these cards were repurposed by mainly the emigration attaches that were positioned at the Dutch consulates in Australia to support the migrants in their new home country (Faassen and Oprel, 2020). In doing so we hope to have established a new resource that is easily accessible for a larger public (the core business of Huygens Institute, see also Arthur et al., 2018) and that can be supplemented by other public or private collections, interviews etc. This resource can also facilitate our second aim: to start answering our main research question: how are policy and migrant agency related with respect to the whole migration experience? ...
Digitization and digital methods have had a big impact on migration history and history in general. The dispersed and fragmented nature of migration heritage that involves at least two countries and many cultural heritage institutions make it clear that migration history can be much improved by using digital means to connect collections. This makes it possible to overcome the biases that policy have introduced in private and public collections alike by selection and perspective. Digital methods are not immune to these biases and may even introduce new distortions because they often change heritage contextualizations. In this article, Van Faassen and Hoekstra argue that therefore they should be embedded in source criticism methodology. They use the example of post-world War II Dutch-Australian emigration to show how a migrant registration system can be used as a structural device to connect migrant heritage. They use methods from computer vision to assess the information distribution of the registration system. Together, connecting collections and information assessments give an encompassing view of the migrant visibility and invisibility in the heritage collections and perspectives for scholars to become aware of heritage biases.
... It is worth noting that the indicator was adjusted by a coefficient of transit migration. Arthur et al. (2018), Fischer and Pfaffermayr (2018), Williams (2009) and many other scholars have successfully used this approach. ...
Population migration activity in the Carpathian region of Ukraine is currently high in intensity and scale compared to the national average. This situation is caused by subjective factors (lower living standards and quality of life, employment problems, escalation of armed conflict in the east) and objective factors (globalization and increasing population mobility, development of transnational corporations, digitalization of the economy, simplification of border-crossing procedures). The aim of the research is to model and visualize the impact of population migration on the social and economic development of the Carpathian region of Ukraine and to determine an optimal value and critical range of external migration for the region. Based on the modelling, assuming that socio-economic development of the Carpathian region corresponds to the level of integral coefficient for Poland in 2018 (calculated using a multiplicative approach), the acceptable level of external migration was determined. It is 0.850 for Lviv region (actual migration level was 1.479 in 2018); 0.653 for Chernivtsi region (0.695); and 1.488 for Zakarpattya region (2.149). The critical range of the intensity of external population migration is 0.723–1.264 for Lviv region, 0.499–0.578 for Chernivtsi region, 0.006–0.008 for Ivano Frankivsk region, and 0.479–0.769 for Zakarpattya region.

The information and analytical provision of migration mobility empiricism in Ukraine, the effectiveness of the implementation of the State policy of managing migration processes is not formed to the full extent, and the existing one is of poor quality; in addition, there is no methodological algorithm for the implementation of migration monitoring. The elimination of this shortcoming requires the development of a new model for monitoring migration mobility, which should be based on a three-level accounting of migration processes (national, regional and local), taking into account the peculiarities of the course of migration processes and the structural characteristics of both external and internal migration. The article is aimed at improvnig the system of monitoring migration mobility in the projection of socio-economic development of the State in order to build an information and analytical base of the empiricism of influence on human potential. The article proposes a model of systematic monitoring of migration mobility, its information-analytical and institutional-organizational provision is substantiated. Monitoring of migration mobility on the basis of a systematic approach allows to: implement three-level accounting of emigration, immigration flows, processes of acquisition and termination of citizenship, money transfers of migrants; cluster the country’s territories according to the criteria of differentiated socio-economic development and financial imbalances; guarantee flexible control of structural changes in migration processes based on the construction of migration profile and determination of the potential of territories. The implementation of monitoring of migration mobility will allow to simulate the intensity of external migration, taking into account changes in the level of socio-economic development, to determine the effectiveness of the implementation of the current policy of managing migration processes on the part of the State.
... The econometric studies show that immigration to European countries targeted at recruitment is caused by disparities in national labour markets [14]. As a result, migrants are the source of changes in the society's development in different countries, and this cultural heritage is becoming of increasing interest to both researchers and migrant communities [7]. ...

This paper presents the authors’ algorithm for estimating the conditions affecting population migration activity in the Eastern European region (on the example of Ukraine), which includes selection of indicators, determination of indicators’ weights in a group, calculation of weighted multidimensional values by each group, determination of the weights of indicators’ groups in the integral index, estimation of the calculation reliability, construction of the integral index and its interpretation. The concept of the conditions affecting migration activity is regarded as a set of factors distributed in five groups (demographic stability and public health status, education coverage, labour market and employment conditions, standard of living, country’s economic development). Based on the results of estimating the conditions affecting population migration activity in Ukraine, the conclusions are drawn regarding the level of the country’s enabling migration conditions.
Purpose: The article explores links between the attractiveness of regional labor markets and internal migration as a change in the usual place of residence in Ukraine. Methodology: Based on the migration theory of “push-pull” a study of the attractiveness of regional labor markets as determinants of the intensification of internal migration in 24 regions of Ukraine (2010–2020) was conducted with the use of integrated assessment and balance econometric modeling. Findings: The study found that the internal migration activity in Ukraine is of urbanistic nature because the development of rural-urban area migration vectors dominates in the country. The most attractive regions in the focus of internal emigration and immigration processes are defined based on the developed rankings of the regions’ attractiveness by the system of labor market and employment development indicators. Research limitations: This article studies a specific country and its regions, along with the local labor market. One should be careful when generalizing the results to other regional labor markets. Originality/value: The level of regional labor markets’ attractiveness correlated with internal migration activity. The attractive regional labor market, high IT market development level, and increasing innovative-technological capacity proved the main attraction factors of these regions.
У роботі аргументовано, що комплексний підхід до побудови методики аналізування впливу міграції на соціально-економічний розвиток повинен враховувати складність і динамізм міграції, каузальний вплив на економічні процеси. Комплементарне дослідження впливу міграційних процесів на соціально-економічний розвиток та людський потенціал країни запропоновано здійснювати на основі підходу «реакція-результат», що ґрунтується на: визначенні рівня інтенсивності зовнішньої міграції населення за допомогою коефіцієнтів загальної і трудової міграції; оцінюванні казуальності (причинності) міграції населення і соціально-економічного розвитку країни (у формі інтегрального коефіцієнту); економетричному аналізуванні взаємовпливу інтенсифікації зовнішньої міграції населення і параметрів соціально-економічного розвитку країни; моделюванні обсягів потенційної міграції до найбільших за обсягом країн-реципієнтів людських ресурсів. На основі систематизації напрацювань у сфері аналітичної міграціології виділено методичний інструментарій оцінювання впливу міграції, формування і розвитку міграційних векторів на соціально-економічний розвиток (відносна економічна продуктивність між країнами-донорами та країнами-реципієнтами; диференціація в економічному зростанні; дивергенція у системі оплати праці; трудомісткість економіки; дефіцит/профіцит робочої сили; інвестиційна спроможність сфери наукових досліджень і розробок).
