Home - Project TRACKS (en)

TRACKS is designed like a suitcase that contains the tools artists and arts organisations need for the preservation of their own archive and/or collection(s).

Vision ⟶

The starting point for taking care of your archives is a vision statement from your organisation on the subject. What are your goals? Why are they important? How do you want to reach those goals?

Ordering and describing ⟶

How should I best create (a sequential) order in my archive? How should I note this down? And how detailed should it be?

Discarding and keeping ⟶

What can I safely discard of delete? How do I decide whether a document is valuable enough to retain it? Are there documents that I'm obligated to retain?

Physical storage ⟶

All the necessary information to make your paper archive survive the test of time.

Digital storage ⟶

How do I best preserve digital files? How do I make sure they remain readable in the future?

Digitisation ⟶

Everything about digitising texts, photos, videos,...

Rights ⟶

Archival materials may be subject to rights such as copyright, portrait rights and GDPR. But what types of rights are there? And what do you need consider?

Providing visibility ⟶

How do I highlight my archive? And how does the general public find their way to my archive?
