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 currently in Chinese. This page explains the same source, rights, privacy and visibility process in English; the button below opens the original form.

WHAT YOU CAN ADD

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

The archive is interested in evidence and context, not only finished works. A correction or boundary request 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 an unverified factual claim?

Should it be public, participant-only, retained internally, or reviewed before any visibility decision?

REVIEW PROCESS

Submission is the beginning of review, not instant publication.

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 provenance
The archive reviews dates, source, creator, attribution, permission to publish and any missing contextual information.
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. The final treatment depends on source, authorization, privacy, risk and the archive team’s review.

Public

Readable, searchable and shareable by any visitor after source, rights and privacy review.

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

Held with source and response notes when privacy, attack, accusation or unverified facts require further review.

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

Disagreement can remain visible, but evidence, response, position and potential harm must be distinguished.

Visibility limits matter

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