This article analyzes the digital field and the historical processes in which it was
privatized (enclosures), while alternatives of co-operative and solidary uses were
developed. The paper delves into the aspects related to the digital-virtual terri-
tory, proposing a literature survey that accounts for both privatization actions
and the so-called platform co-operativism (different from the privative). The no-
tions of common and communalization are introduced as distinct from those of
enclosure and accumulation, through a survey of classic critical social science
literature. Based on all this conceptual repositioning, the creation of a Popular
Memory Archive in a neighborhood of the City of Buenos Aires is described and
analyzed. Finally, we reflect on memory as a common good and its manage-
ment in digital environments.
