Principles for Independent Archives
Luke Bacon's framework for creating independent archives that prioritize open standards, long-term thinking, and universal accessibility while preserving original records.

Use open standards
-
Think long term
-
Stay small, let others create meta-collections
-
Strive for universal accessibility, be accessible by default
-
Store the original record, present its essence over its resolution
-
Work together
-
Believe in your ideas, an independent perspective is worth a lot
