Abstract
Changes in direction at Library and Archives Canada highlight a more fundamental crisis: traditional archival operations risk obsolescence in the face of technological transformation. The linear approach to acquisition, preservation, and access is premised on a physical, custodial model of service: archival materials must be housed in archival institutions in order to receive archival care. This custodial orientation is exacerbated in Canada because the total archives philosophy, and the subsequent archival system approach, have both encouraged the unattainable dream that archival management can be encyclopedic, collective, and controlled. How can archivists acquire, preserve, and make available a valuable collection of archives in a digital age when the nature of digital records is that they are dispersed, unregulated, and selective? The best strategy for protecting records in today’s digital environment is not to save an outdated, custodial model, which marginalizes archival institutions, but to take a risk-based approach to records and archives service, helping organizations and individuals protect their digital documentary evidence in both custodial and non-custodial environments. A new strategy will help the Canadian archival community achieve its ultimate goal, which is to help society create and capture records in order to support accountability, foster identity, and protect memory. RESUME Des changements de direction a Bibliotheque et Archives Canada accentuent une crise plus fondamentale : les operations archivistiques traditionnelles sont menacees d’obsolescence face aux transformations technologiques. L’approche lineaire pour l’acquisition, la preservation et l’acces est basee sur un modele de service physique impliquant la garde effective des documents d’archives : les ressources archivistiques doivent etre conservees dans des institutions d’archives afin de pouvoir beneficier d’une attention de la part des archivistes. Cette orientation axee sur la garde physique des documents d’archives est rendue plus difficile au Canada etant donne que la philosophie des archives totales et l’approche du systeme d’archives qui en decoule ont tous les deux encourage le reve inatteignable d’une gestion d’archives qui puisse etre encyclopedique, collective et controlee. Comment les archivistes peuvent-ils acquerir, conserver et rendre accessible une collection d’archives de valeur a l’âge numerique quand la nature meme des documents numeriques dicte qu’ils soient disperses, pas conformes aux normes et selectifs? La meilleure strategie pour proteger les documents d’archives dans l’environnement numerique d’aujourd’hui n’est pas de conserver un modele desuet base sur la garde physique des documents, qui marginalise les institutions d’archives, mais d’adopter une approche basee sur la gestion du risque pour les documents d’archives et les services archivistiques, permettant ainsi aux organisations et aux individus de proteger les preuves documentaires numeriques, qu’ils se trouvent soit dans un environnement dans lequel on considere la garde physique des documents d’archives (« custodial environment ») ou bien dans un autre dans lequel la garde physique des documents n’est pas prise en compte (« noncustodial environment »). Une nouvelle strategie aidera la communaute archivistique canadienne a atteindre son but ultime, qui est de permettre a la societe de creer et de conserver des documents d’archives afin d’appuyer la responsabilisation, de nourrir l’identite et de proteger la memoire.

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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
