Field notes
The archive separates fully digitized holdings from catalogued material that has not yet been digitized, and says the latter can be requested under certain requirements. Its mapping section is described as organizing processes, actors, and territories. The homepage also asks visitors to contribute documents, knowledge, or records; its blog area labels sample entries as a test, so that section appears unfinished.
