	[[Category:~~Literature~~]]		{{Not\|:category:Archived}} ''– a [[:Category:Wiki Status\|wiki status]] category.''
			'''Category:Archives''' — this [[Special:Categories\|category]] contains wikis and / or other articles who's ''{{tag\|Wiki Topic\|subject matter}}'' deals with archives and archiving. Traditionally, archives would consist of vellum scrolls, acts of parliament, patent applications, planning applications – basically, any physical {{tag\|Documentation\|document}} of importance created by a public body or legislative {{tag\|organisation}}. The said archives would typically be stored at your county or national public records office; private organisations will typically use specialist private archiving contractors. Works of {{tag\|art}} and {{tag\|literature}} can be stored in archives, as can scientific research papers, medical journals, hospital records, newspapers and periodicals, and anything from the {{tag\|publishing}} world may all be found in vast arrays of archives. However, in todays digital world, massive amounts of data can be archived at multiple locations, and take up a minuscule amount of physical space compared to their former 'hard copy' equivalents.
