**The Progress from data to archives**

We receive //data//: sights, sounds, smells, words, symbols --->

We interpret that data to generate and share //knowledge// --->

A portion of that data may be documented - visually, aurally, digitally or textually - serving as //information// --->

Some of the information we document may provide //evidence//: proof of event, experiences, actions, decisions or ideas --->

A portion of evidence may be preserved as //archives// for its enduring value, worthy of preservation as proof or as information or long-term interest to a wider audience --->
