Nºarchivistika
Nº 001 · Home archive

A proper home for your family's paper trail.

Archivistika turns shoeboxes of photos, letters and certificates into a searchable family archive, kept twice in two European data centres and passed on when it matters.

§ 1 · How it works

Three steps from shoebox to shelf. The archive does the filing.

01

Scan or upload

Use the phone app, a flatbed scanner or drag in folders from your computer. Originals are kept at full resolution, never recompressed.

02

Describe

Add who, where and when. Archivistika reads dates from file data and groups items into collections you can rename and reorder.

03

Keep

Every item is stored twice, in two locations, and checked against its fingerprint every year so nothing quietly decays.

§ 2 · The collection

Built like an archive, not a cloud drive.

Originals

Nothing is squeezed

RAW, TIFF and PDF stay exactly as you gave them. Previews are made separately.

Roles

Keepers and readers

Invite relatives as Keepers, Contributors or Readers. Each sees only what you share.

Exports

Yours to take away

Download any collection as a ZIP of the files with a plain JSON catalogue alongside.

Fixity

Checked every year

Each file is fingerprinted on arrival and verified on schedule against both copies.

Succession

A legacy contact

Name someone who inherits the archive, so it outlives any single account.

Views

Timeline and places

Browse a century by decade, or find every photo taken in one town.

§ 4 · Questions
Where are my files kept?
In two data centres in different European countries. Each item exists in both before we call it archived.
Can I leave and take everything with me?
Yes. Exports contain your original files and a readable catalogue, with no lock-in format.
Who can see my archive?
Only the people you invite, with the role you give them. We never sell or analyse your memories.
How do I join?
We are opening gradually. Family members of existing keepers are invited first.
