MOM developed ceramic data carriers which conserves analogue text and images for unlimited intervals of time.
MOM is a global project and is built of stories which are collected and contributed by individuals across the planet.
MOM is a snapshot of our time and of course not a substitute for national archives but rather a supplement.
MOM tells our descendants about us and the era we lived in; everyone can contribute to this story.
MOM is not a backup of our knowledge. Societies in the future who are capable of discovering MOM will be at least as knowledgeable as us. However, stories of how we gained knowledge and insight will certainly be of interest to the future. This is why PhD theses in particular are collected within MOM.
