Though we might not always be aware of it, we are constantly working as archivists. We surround ourselves with countless things, big and small, personal and profane, useful and decorative. We collect, sort, deposit, arrange. What and who we are is reflected in these things. And is literally found in the orders we create.
What can be read off from these archives from the outside – as archaeologist, sociologist, economist, fellow human being? What can be said about the individual life, what about a community? Data, facts, statistics, things do not lie: so are they telling the truth?
