创建个人和家庭文物的数字档案是一个越来越感兴趣的领域，但似乎往往得不到对当前家庭档案做法的彻底了解。在这篇文章中，我们试图挖掘家庭档案，探索那些人们选择保留而不是简单地积累的东西。基于对家庭住宅的广泛实地研究，我们对住宅中可以找到的情感物品的种类进行了调查，包括实物和数字物品，并通过对家庭成员的深入采访，探索了存档做法背后的价值，解释了情感文物为什么以及如何被保存。在这样做的时候，我们希望强调事物的多义性，并争辩说，家庭中的归档实践不仅仅与记忆的调用有关。为了支持这一点，我们展示了多愁善感的艺术品如何也被用来与他人联系，定义自我和家庭，履行义务，相反，努力记住，安全地忘记。这样的价值观是家庭生活的基础，在那里进行归档，因此我们探索如何在家庭协商的空间中实现家庭归档作为一种家庭实践。从这种对现有做法和价值观的扎根理解中，我们得出了对未来国内档案技术形式的设计的要求和影响。
Creating digital archives of personal and family artifacts is an area of growing interest, but which seemingly is often not supported by a thorough understanding of current home archiving practice. In this article we seek to excavate the home archive, exploring those things that people choose to keep rather than simply accumulate. Based on extensive field research in family homes we present an investigation of the kinds of sentimental objects, both physical and digital, to be found in homes, and through in-depth interviews with family members we explore the values behind archiving practices, explaining why and how sentimental artefacts are kept. In doing this we wish to highlight the polysemous nature of things and to argue that archiving practice in the home is not solely concerned with the invocation of memory. In support of this we show how sentimental artifacts are also used to connect with others, to define the self and the family, to fulfill obligations and, quite conversely to efforts of remembering, to safely forget. Such values are fundamental to family life where archiving takes place and consequently we explore how home archiving is achieved as a familial practice in the negotiated spaces of the home. From this grounded understanding of existing practices and values, in context, we derive requirements and implications for the design of future forms of domestic archiving technology.
