Memories and Ink fades, links rot, collections cycle, and censors edit and rewrite.

Building archives, even if only in private, is both a defensive and optimistic act.

Make copies of artifacts and please write about them excruciating detail, document from weird angles, note the obvious, and the absurd.

Presuppose a future where someone else wants to know that artifact as you know it.

No one person, or org, can hold back the fog of time forever, but consider giving history a helping hand.
