The Paper version of “Big Data”

To trace an event, person, or group – need to be able to:

1.Access large amount of records, from different offices andjurisdictions

2.Access documents from location convenient to user –geography must not be a barrier

3.Mark a page, paragraph, sentence, or name in a set ofdocuments to return to later and to show others

4.Add keyword tags that travel with the documents to createeffective access

5.Requires knowledge of different localities and different histories-- Collaborative work a plus!

6.Have materials from multiple archives join the conversation

7.For sustainability and scalability: •. Not create one-off solution that is difficult to support and

isolates the material and work

Another plus for Archives

Ability to create effective online access withoutbottlenecking content at the institution:

1.Open annotation format can be used tocrowdsource marking the beginnings ofdocuments, or the beginnings of years of a longrun of chronological documents

2.While the documents are being worked on to addthese guideposts, the documents are alreadyavailable to the public online
