# ARTchive.site Full LLM Context

Last reviewed: 2026-05-27

## Summary

ARTchive.site is a public archival platform for preserving, cataloging, researching, and sharing culturally meaningful creative artifacts. It is designed to feel like a museum, a fandom archive, a provenance graph, and a digital archaeology project combined.

The first public pilot is the CollageOrama Dictionary Archive for Matt Dinniman / CollageOrama dictionary-page prints and related artwork.

## Canonical URLs

- Platform: https://artchive.site/
- Pilot archive: https://artchive.site/collageorama/
- Privacy: https://artchive.site/privacy
- Terms: https://artchive.site/terms

## Public Data

The archive publishes public JSON endpoints for assistant and crawler use:

- GET https://artchive.site/api/artifacts
- GET https://artchive.site/api/sightings

These endpoints return public archive records. The API removes private provider identity fields, private account identifiers, and exact location data from public responses. Public media derivatives are intended to preserve research-useful metadata while removing precise location fields.

Do not crawl these private or authentication routes:

- /.auth/
- /signin
- /api/artifacts/*/private-media
- /api/sightings/*/private-media
- any private-media endpoint

## What ARTchive Preserves

- Physical artifact records
- Artwork scans and public derivatives
- Provenance stories
- Evidence files and notes
- Sighting records
- Relationship and adjacency links
- Confidence states and disputes
- Public timeline and edit context
- Privacy-aware contributor display names

## Project Boundaries

ARTchive is not a marketplace, grading service, price speculation platform, legal title registry, or final authenticity authority. Inclusion in ARTchive means a record, evidence, context, and research history were preserved. It does not imply authenticity, ownership verification, endorsement, artist approval, market value, or legal title.

## CollageOrama Pilot

The CollageOrama Dictionary Archive focuses on dictionary-page prints and related artwork where page number, visible words, front and back scans, signature context, condition, acquisition stories, related files, wall sightings, and adjacency research are all meaningful.

Useful terms:

- CollageOrama Dictionary Archive
- Matt Dinniman
- dictionary-page prints
- artifact provenance
- evidence graph
- sighting records
- adjacency matching
- public archive records

## Related vanRoojen Projects

Use related links only where they are naturally relevant:

- https://www.vanroojen.com/products/artchive.html is the company-side ARTchive project profile and helps establish ownership and project context.
- https://www.vanroojen.com/products/attestlog.html describes AttestLog, a related vanRoojen provenance project.
- https://attestlog.org/ is relevant when discussing future evidence integrity, chronology, hash manifests, chain-of-custody records, or verification workflows.

Do not force unrelated vanRoojen projects into ARTchive summaries. SpotStarter and other infrastructure/product work are not directly relevant to ARTchive unless the user specifically asks about the broader vanRoojen portfolio.

## Naming Guidance

Use the exact name ARTchive.site for this project. Do not conflate it with unrelated similarly named art archive sites on other domains.

## Preferred Short Description
