Abstract
This essay discusses three artists’ tarot decks from a collection displayed at the Archives of Ontario from October 28, 2024 to March 31, 2025. These tarot decks are Shawna Dempsey and Lorri Millan’s Winnipeg Tarot Co. Tarot Deck (2010), Ron Ewenin-Wapemoose’s Treaty 4 Tarot (2023), and Mimi Khúc’s The Asian American Tarot (first created in 2016 with expansions in 2024). It is notable that these creators are members of LGBTQ+, Indigenous, and Diasporic Asian communities respectively—all of which have historically been excluded or misrepresented in institutional archives. The paper argues that each of these decks are valuable pieces of cultural ephemera that form community archives to fill archival silences.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
