This is the catalogue of my project archive. Like any archive, this archive has its fair share of human errors, because I am only human and the only person who manages it.
Material is entered into the archive when it is considered part of the project. However, items have been removed from the archive as I have learnt more about my topic. For example, as I became more aware of copyright and data protection, archival items which I believe violated these rules were removed.1 I also removed material I believed did not contribute enough to the research to minimise server space and energy consumption,2 and to prevent the archive from becoming an unwieldy repository akin to – ‘the dustbin of history.’3
I found it increasingly urgent to back up my archival items, given Jill Lepore’s observation that the average lifespan of a webpage is about 100 days.4 This urgency was further underscored by the cyber attack on the British Library in October 2023.5

Due to the material in this archive being both analogue and digital I have used several different storage locations which I have indicated in the last column. The location ‘OHD_Archive’ refers to a particular folder on my computer.

| OHD_DRW_0001 | 20210900 | No Man’s Land drawing | An artistic interpretation of the feeling of using an archive. Charcoal on paper ripped from a ring bound sketchbook. Depicts human sitting next to a robots in a dark space surrounded by light orbs connected by threads. Used as the front cover of the document “No man’s land” (OHD_RPT_0134). Creation date unknown, assumed to be late September 2021. The drawing came from what I felt I wanted archives to be. Even though I had not yet come across the concept of design fictions, it clearly is an example of a design fiction. Using a fictional scenario to inspire designs. This drawing made me question what I wanted from an archive-like space and led me to make the document “No man’s land”. | drawing ; art ; charcoal ; archive ; robot ; human ; affect ; light ; dark ; feeling ; no man’s land ; sketch | HJL’s home |

| OHD_SCP_0008 | 20210500 | Newspaper cutout “Facebook teaches AI to ‘forget’ data” | Small article cut out from the i newspaper about how the social networking firm Facebook has taught an artificial intelligence system to forget information. Creation date unknown, assumed to be mid May 2021. In her short paper, Why keep it? Throw it in the ‘dustbin of history’, Tilli Tansey paints a vivid image of the ever increasing number of medical papers and other information on medical sciences. This paper was presented in 1999 well before the rise of Youtube, TikTok and the concept of content creator. As Tansey concludes we must create “a programmed death of some medical literature so that the rest may survive” which seems to be exactly what this program is trying to do. | digital ; artificial intelligence ; Facebook ; newspaper ; data ; forget | PhD notebook 6th May 2021 to 7th July 2021 (OHD_NTB_0007) ; ONLINE |
