CONTRIBUTE · CORRECT · ADD CONTEXT

Your account can change the archive.

Participants can contribute material, identify a source, correct a date, challenge a description or propose another version of what happened. Nothing submitted becomes public automatically.

The secure intake form is in Chinese. This page gives an English guide to credits, rights, privacy and visibility; the button below opens the form.

WHAT YOU CAN ADD

A contribution can be a file—or a different account.

The archive welcomes unfinished traces and personal context, not only finished works. A correction or request about boundaries can be as important as a photograph.

Memory, context or correction

Describe what happened, identify a person or place, correct a date, question a description or add another participant account.

Text, image, audio or video

Submit writing, photographs, programmes, posters, recordings, a public link or another file connected to a P4 work or event.

Source and rights information

Add a creator credit, publication source, access location, permission note, preferred attribution or correction to an existing rights statement.

Participant identification

Help reconnect an archival object to the performers, makers, audience members or collaborators who gave it meaning.

BEFORE SUBMITTING

Name the relationship and the boundary.

Do not send more personal or sensitive information than the record needs. If another person is involved, say so clearly and request review rather than assuming public permission.

Which work, event, person, place or year is this material connected to?

Who made or supplied it, and how should that person be credited?

Are you authorized to share it, or does another rights holder need to be consulted?

Does it show, quote or identify another real person—including a minor or someone not publicly involved?

Does it contain private information, an accusation, a conflict or a factual claim that could affect another person?

Should it be public, shared only with participants, kept offline, or discussed with you before it appears?

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT

Every contribution begins with a conversation.

01
Submit the material
Use the Chinese intake form to upload a file or link and describe its relationship to a P4 project, event, article or person.
02
Confirm the context
We confirm the date, creator, credit, permission to publish and any context that should travel with the material.
03
Review privacy and rights
Real people, sensitive information, disputed claims and the requested visibility level are considered before publication.
04
Connect the approved record
Accepted material is linked to the relevant project, event, person, article or collection instead of being published without context.

VISIBILITY AND PRIVACY

Preservation does not require immediate public display.

The intake form asks how the material should be seen. Credits, permission, privacy and the people involved determine where it can appear.

Public

Readable, searchable and shareable by any visitor once credit, permission and privacy choices are clear.

Registered participants

Available only to signed-in participants; useful for process material that should not be fully public.

Internal preservation

Retained by the team without entering the public exhibition or search catalogue for now.

Disputed or sensitive

Kept out of public view when privacy, accusation, disputed facts or possible harm need a direct conversation first.

What the archive commits to

Your material is not taken away from you

You can state attribution, desired visibility and withdrawal boundaries. Submission is not presented as a transfer of authorship.

Conflict is not silently flattened

Different accounts can remain visible while each person’s position, response and possible harm stay clear.

Visibility limits matter

Some records can be public, some participant-only and some retained internally while context or consent remains unresolved.
