[…] digital archives potentially redefine what A. Assmann calls a ‚active memory’ and ‚passive memory’, in the sense that these become highly individualized: all materials contained in an online database are equally available to the user – no materials are any more ‚hidden’ or ‚stored away’ than any other materials, all materials that are indexed can be retrieved from the database – and so users of an Internet Archive may ‚activate’ whichever of the materials they wish, constructing their own personal canons based on the materials that they use. […] Digital archives erect no physical barriers between categories of information, so conceivably any piece of information, any archived data, can enter into one person’s repertoire and canon; thus, there are as many possible canons as there are archive users, and no possibility for a single canon, achieved by a consensus of cultural archive users, that would be distinct from the culture’s archive.
