title: Download/Upload
---
The next block of sessions focuses on large repositories of digital text, so called *shadow libraries*, that are technologically organised around actions of upload and download to and from server infrastructures. The sessions introduce learners to:
- a) workflows used in text sharing, collection-building and collection-maitaining;
- b) three shadow libraries: [Library Genesis](https://gen.lib.rus.ec), [Aaaaarg](https://aaaaarg.fail) and [Memory of the World](https://library.memoryoftheworld.org), and the legal pressures they face;
- c) politicising interventions that articulate practices of text sharing as massive, collective and commoning.
Learners will get acquainted with three shadow libraries that are created by communities of contributors and benefit a larger public. The fact that they maintain centralised repositories and they do not obfuscate their own existence entails a need for articulation of politics of collective disobedience and practice of collective custodianship.
