archive n 1 a compilation of documents recording events that have already taken place 2 an innate element of great tales, aspires to totality and universality, although its nature is incomplete and partial 3 creates breaks in the habitual perception of existence as a continuous unbroken whole 4 it is functional in character: the archive of the past is used to attempt to make sense of the present and the future 5 almost nothing remains outside it and it is omnipresent in the collective imaginarium. Interestingly, an “imaginarium” is also a type of archive.
