For individual collections, should answer the following questions (for ourselves and for public narrative): How do we decide what constitutes a collection? Is there any consideration of the order in which the things themselves are collected? This process too tells a story about the evolution of access and priorities, particularly if this archive is intended to last, say 100 years. What is the lifespan of the archive? What is its explicit goal? Or, another thought, if this is intended to honor individual stories, is it helpful to separate collections around an individual and their experience? Where does the archive hope to expand?
