Turning decaying cultural memories into enduring strategic assets.
This repository contains the complete, actionable architecture for the “Era Memory” National Visual Archive Initiative — a proposal to systematically preserve 20th-century folk visual memories and transform them into a sustainable ecosystem that benefits technology, business, and society.
We address three critical pains for modern tech companies with one elegant solution:
- For AI: Provides non-renewable, structured, era-specific visual data to break free from homogeneous training sets.
- For Growth: Creates a zero-cost, emotional bridge to the underserved “sinking market” and senior demographics.
- For Brand: Elevates “Tech for Good” into a scalable, national-level cultural legacy project, generating immense brand equity and policy goodwill.
The repository is structured as a ready-to-use project brief:
