In the new place which will be also the old place we will save useful things neatly, with backups, but not too many, not too much. Everyone will train in some archives, teaching methods & learning our shared reverence for research which is reverence for knowledge which is reverence for community which is reverence for being which is reverence for this earth & all universes. We will keep kitchen archives & garden archives & comms archives & decisions archives & process archives & experiment archives & we will consult these archives when we need background or inspiration or instruction, or for pleasure, the great pleasure of the archive, the great archive of pleasure; we will call this art, how we spend our days & nights.
