The Archivist: is focused on the documentation, collecting, archiving, world history, and the individual's continued education about the world of yesteryear.. 

Archetype - The Archivist 

• Photo printing. Technology now allows us the opportunity to print our own high-quality photos on just about anything now.  Images on pillows, wallpaper, bags, artwork to memorialize moments will be seen in home decor and style.
• Collectors.  Anyone who knows a collector knows that their treasures need to be visibly  displayed and featured in their  homes not unlike a museum. The fun is not only finding the items for your collections  but the art of displaying these collections will be equally important.
• Photo documentation. Chronicling  significant, relevant events in history and everyday life
• Natural ingredients - an interest in knowing  the origin stories and materials used in the products you make.
• All botanicals  - images or products relating to or made with  plants
• Historical drawings, illustrations or vintage ephemera
• Maps of all kinds
• Beachcomber - the ocean and beach washing up surprising organic and inorganic materials of all kinds in use within products.
• Shift towards prehistoric and what came before us.
