Living Heritage Archive: Social Memory Platform

IxDWEB
2026

A Product-Service-System designed to contribute to social memory and preserve verbal heritage. It structures verified episodic and procedural memory (voice notes, handwritten memos, oral accounts, and photo plates) into Heritage Envelopes that do not invent what was never filed.

Social and cultural memory erode when lived experience stays trapped in private anecdotes, unlabeled photographs, and unlinked documents. This platform contributes by making that material navigable as committed nodes: families, researchers, and wider audiences can traverse a grounded register without generative fabrication.

Colonel Leman Bozkurt Altınçekiç (Yıldız), the first accredited female jet pilot in the Turkish Air Force and NATO, appears here as an example usage persona, inspired by a fully true historical record. She is not the platform’s sole subject; the system is built to hold any verified living-heritage case under the same input and synthesis rules.

The ecosystem spans an IDE-style integration hub, a museum-grade heritage archive (desktop and mobile), and read-only stewardship portals for family curators. Mobile field cues feed the web synthesis pipeline. AI runs as tactile synthesis only: grounded probes, transcript strata, and cross-linked registers sourced from verified persona material.

The live prototype is embedded below. Open it full screen to explore the hub, archive, and mobile companion.

Memory flow

  1. Input

    Voice notes, written scripts, photo plates, and mobile field captures enter as raw filings.

  2. Ground

    Each filing stays tied to verified persona sources. No free generation of biography or events.

  3. Synthesize

    Grounded AI probes surface keywords, cross-links, and deepening threads across registers.

  4. File

    Committed nodes settle into Heritage Envelopes inside the shared notes and plates archive.

  5. Access

    Public archive browsing for cultural use; family stewardship monitors filings read-only.
