An open-source archiving platform that offers an antidote to the kind of forgetting traditional archival practices allow for. Born out of pandemic-driven losses, T+T follows a DIY ethos to preserve the sentimental, the cultural, and the historic.

The platform allows artists and community members to exhibit 3D scans of their work, which can then be accompanied by text-, photo-, video-, and/or audio-based annotations. A sculptor can archive a piece, attach meaning to its textures in the margins; a musician can scan a chair they wrote a song in; a textile artist could annotate a single thread in a tapestry; a poet could archive a note written on a napkin. You could archive a family heirloom, or a gift from a lover.
