Description

Test Collection

Overview

The Test Collection is a digital archive catalogued as a Collection in the PINAX archival system. Created in 2023, it is written in English and is associated with the institution “test.” The collection was assembled by the Arke Institute in collaboration with Substack and the curator Nchimicles. No explicit copyright or usage restrictions are recorded, and the access URL is a placeholder, indicating that the original web location is not preserved.

Background

Substack is a subscription‑based newsletter platform that provides an integrated editor for composing posts. The Arke Institute, a research organization focused on digital preservation, produced the collection as part of a test or demonstration environment to showcase Substack’s content‑management capabilities and the handling of digital archives. The collection was generated automatically by the PINAX content‑management system and is intended to support research and management of digital newsletter communications.

Contents

The collection comprises several interrelated components:
  • Posts Collection – a set of written materials (blog‑style posts) created in 2023, covering lifestyle, culture, and modern indulgence topics.
  • Newsletter Posts Dataset – a JSON‑formatted metadata record for individual newsletter posts, including identifiers, dates, and author information.
  • System Files Metadata – three files documenting the internal structure of the archive: a plain‑text metadata record, a JSON file describing key entities, and a binary `.DS_Store` file.
  • Supporting files – additional system files and metadata that describe the collection’s structure and provenance.

Scope

The Test Collection covers the year 2023, English‑language digital communication, and the use of Substack as a publishing platform. It includes posts, datasets, and system‑level metadata related to content management and digital archives. The collection does not contain the full text of the original newsletter content beyond the metadata; it focuses on the structural and descriptive aspects of the archive rather than the copyrighted content itself.

# Reorganization Summary

The organizational strategy focuses on separating user content from system-related files. The 'newsletter_posts' group contains files that are directly related to newsletter content, which is the primary user content in this directory. The 'system_files' group includes files that are related to system operations and metadata, which are necessary for the functioning of the directory but not directly related to the user content. This strategy ensures that user content is easily accessible and distinguishable from system files, enhancing the clarity and usability of the directory.

## Groups Created

- **newsletter_posts**: Files containing data related to newsletter posts, including post IDs, dates, publication status, and audience details.
- **system_files**: Files that are related to system or metadata, often not directly related to user content but necessary for system operations.
