Citizen Archive: My Precious Information

摘要

The trend toward personal archiving is rising, but no official archives are interested in the "precious" information possessed by average citizens. Consequently, citizen data is stored on cloud drives, USB devices, and optical media that cannot be considered to be reliable or trustworthy. This article describes the Citizen Archive solution, which aims to be the place where citizens can preserve their precious data. Furthermore, we discuss some previously implemented, functional, and tested solutions considering e-mail preservation workflow and PDF splitting workflow. The experiences from pilot users of the Citizen Archive are also reviewed in the text.
