A few starting points for exploring the Time Anchor idea.
What is a Time Anchor?

What can preservation teach us?
How materials survive, how records remain readable, and how identity, language, location and context can be passed forward. These are useful questions whatever the future discovers about time.
Where can I read about the science?
The Research page explores what we know, what we can test and the questions that remain open.
How did the project begin?
The Time Anchor Project began as an independent thought experiment in 2013. It later inspired the novel Anchors of Time.
