This document discusses expanding the types of artistic works housed in museums and libraries to include more immaterial forms like poetry, drama, and opera. It outlines criteria for including different types of archived artistic content, like recorded performances and lectures. Examples are given of several online poetry archive websites that integrate social media and allow for ongoing access and sharing. Finally, an outline is provided for a proposed publication covering challenges of maintaining online archives, the role of archivists and librarians, and arguing for including poetry as a museum-worthy art form.
