This Special Issue seeks to explore the relationship between design and archives, using the lens of tangibility. The tangible, defined as the physical, the haptic, the made, allows us to explore the role of design in making, accessing, navigating, digitizing, researching, and experiencing the archive. There are multiple and varied definitions of archives, and we invite contributions that interrogate the relationships and boundaries of these definitions. This special issue will explore the archive of, as, and in design.

Submission: full papers to Guest Editors by Monday 30 June 2025.
