For Institutions That Must Hold Their Own Record

the case

An archive on someone else's machine is a tenancy, not a holding.

Libraries, chambers, practices, colleges, orders. The institutions with something worth keeping are the ones now asked to pour it into a hosted model and hope. Third ARK offers another way: the corpus stays on your hardware, every published claim carries its sources, and the chain can be checked by anyone you show it to.
