Abstract
What does the public want and expect from archives?Pollsters report that there is an overwhelming consensus that old things should be kept.But as Jack Jedwab reports in his background paper for this Canadian Archives Summit, people are not so sure what to make of the archives themselves as repositories of our documentary heritage.Far too many of those polled are essentially unaware of what archives do, and only a small percentage of them have knowingly engaged with an archives.The polls tell us that this is particularly true for Library and Archives Canada (LAC).There is nonetheless a lot to build on in the popular consensus about the worthiness of archival recordkeeping.Over the past decade, a group of prominent Canadian historians oversaw a project (Canadians and Their Pasts) to interview some 3,400 Canadians about their consciousness of history.They discovered that a large proportion of them integrate historical consciousness into their identities and are likely to turn to institutions of memory to connect to their past and to invigorate the present and future.My own experience has confirmed that.Several years ago, I was part of a group that attempted to keep the United Church Archives at the University of Toronto.The groundswell of support that we encountered was astonishing, but so was the diversity of that support.People from widely different backgrounds came forward to proclaim the value of that institution for their own work -not just the professional historians and genealogists, as you might expect, but also novelists, journalists, artists, architects, musicologists, undergraduate students, and many more.I wonder to what extent archives recognize the breadth of their potential constituency and the importance of working with all of its members.Certainly over the past decade, the wave of digitization of certain archival records has encouraged an archival populism that invites Canadians to access the records

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
