What are participants and researchers agreeing to when they consent to having data archived and what do they imagine the future life of their data to be? In this paper, we reflect on a project that deliberately started rather than ended with the archive. The Everyday Childhoods project invited children and their families to take part in the creation of an open access public archive documenting everyday childhoods using a range of multimedia data. Families and researchers were invited into the archive, encouraged to imagine different kinds of secondary use and to speak directly to future user of their data through short films and postcards. This paper raises questions concerning the place of the archive in different disciplinary traditions; the roles of researcher and archivist in safekeeping, gatekeeping and caring for data collections; and the place of qualitative longitudinal research as a site of innovation within a new data landscape.

当参与者和研究人员同意将数据存档时，他们同意什么？他们对数据的未来生活有何想象？在本文中，我们反思了一个故意开始而不是以档案结束的项目。Everyday Childhoods 项目邀请儿童及其家人参与创建一个开放访问的公共档案，使用一系列多媒体数据记录日常童年。家庭和研究人员被邀请进入档案，鼓励想象不同类型的二次使用，并通过短片和明信片直接与未来的数据用户交谈。本文提出了有关档案在不同学科传统中的位置的问题；研究人员和档案管理员在保管、看门和照顾数据收集方面的作用；
