Preserve

Upload your important mobile media to a private server of your choice (using a free and open source platform like Nextcloud or ownCloud).

Publish the media publicly to the Internet Archive for resilient, robust preservation by a third-party.

Organize

Create custom-named Projects to keep your media sorted in ways that make sense to you.

Add helpful notes, location, and other contextual information one by one or in bulk.

Enable findability and organization with folders in the app that correspond to your own private server.

Share

Connect to existing project albums created and managed by partners and colleagues.

Send media to the Save app from your camera roll and other iOS applications.

Secure

Save always uses TLS encryption, which encrypts the connection between your mobile device and your chosen destination, whether a private server or the Internet Archive.

Save works with server software like Nextcloud that makes it easy to encrypt the data you’ve collected.

//About

OpenArchive is a collective of human rights technologists, ethnographers, and archivists dedicated to protecting media freedom. Our technologies are designed to preserve, amplify, and securely route mobile media to community-maintained collections in accessible public and private archives, outside the corporate walled gardens currently dominating the online media ecosystem.

About Save

Save by OpenArchive is a free, open source mobile archiving application for documentarians and human rights defenders. It offers at-risk groups more agency over their historical record by affording them media authentication, pseudonymity, licensing controls, and the ability to choose where and how the media will be stored for long-term access and reuse.

Save addresses the gaps in the current online ecosystem existing around the a) ethical short-term collection and b) long term preservation of sensitive mobile media. We provide mobile-centered, scalable, industry-standard, ethical, intuitive, easy to use tools for at-risk communities to pseudonymously preserve and authenticate their media so that it will be accessible and maintain its provenance in the future.
