It is useful here to distinguish between a passive and active approach to providing access. A passive access approach would be an archive created with the main goal of long-term preservation of the material for historical, legal, or other reasons. Provision of access might be of secondary concern for such an archive, and its efforts in this area might be limited to providing access only to requested materials or on-site only. Such an archive would focus on responding to users’ requests and ensuring it provides the appropriate level of access to the material for different user groups (e.g., institutions, researchers, etc.).
