# Archive

**Purpose:** Completed or inactive items from Projects and Areas.

## What Gets Archived

- **Completed projects** - Move entire project folder here
- **Inactive areas** - Areas you're no longer maintaining
- **Old resources** - Outdated reference materials (use sparingly)

## Archive Structure

Maintain the same folder structure:
- `Projects/` - Completed project folders
- `Areas/` - Inactive areas
- `Resources/` - Outdated resources (if needed)

## Before Archiving a Project

1. Create a project summary note with:
   - What was accomplished
   - Key learnings
   - Links to important outputs
2. Update related Area notes
3. Move the entire project folder here

## Maintenance

- Review quarterly to see what can be deleted
- Some archived items may be reactivated
- Keep the archive organized (mirror active structure)

## Tips

- Don't archive too aggressively - keep valuable reference material
- Use git history to track when things were archived
- Archived doesn't mean forgotten - you can still search and reference
