Open Memory Archive Live Demo

This demo shows how ordinary memory project files become a portable offline archive with privacy redaction applied before publication.

What is this?

Open Memory Archive is a format and offline toolkit for producing portable memory archives. It is not a writing tool or a content management system; it is the export layer that a memoir platform, oral history app, or research database uses to produce self-contained archives.

The demos below show the output: what a user receives when they export from a platform that integrates Open Memory Archive.

Archive 1: Community memory

The main file-based demo. It shows a local history archive built from Markdown, CSV, and media files, with 3 items redacted.

Archive 2: Redacted family

A privacy-focused demo. It shows withdrawn consent, family-only scope, private text, private media, and signed URL removal.

What you are opening

Each archive is a static folder containing HTML, JSON, checksums, and copied public media. The viewer opens from files in a browser. It does not need a login, database, API, or hosted backend.

Private media is not included in the public archive, and the redaction log is written into the archive data so the export can be inspected later.
