T-shirts? Soap? Crates? The Digital: Video and audio (many terabytes) Artwork, landscape, and architecture images (many thousands) Architecture and landscape submittals (some surrogates, some original) Press clippings Hard drive copies, entire websites, captures, orphan documents The primordial soup

Office desks Cabinets Houses scheduled for demolition External hard drives Network drives Collection Management System Off-site storage Vault Document storage room 7+ unique spaces – all shared Where are the archives?
