# The Witches Cauldron: Making History

Aan open activist archive project that aims to create a data commons based on
the [#4opens](#add-link) framework and motivated by the [PGA hallmarks](#add-link).

The project aims to create a metadata-enriched digital collection of items
hosted on a redundant and federated network of hosts and servers around the
world, starting with hosting the majority of the content on the
[Internet Archive](https://archive.org).

The project is open to anyone who wants to be a part of the federated network
and will be built using the tools of the Open Media Network (OMN) and the KISS
principle to facilitate DIY working.

The project emphasizes on the importance of simplicity and human scale, and
reject solutions that move away from the core KISS and DIY ethos. The Resistance
Exhibition is the UK flow of data for this project, and the outcome of the
project is to create a open collection of original material from across European
countries as a first step, uploaded and stored in an open distributed
repository.
