"...Digital Vaults us[es] keyword connections that describe relationships between the content of records. The closer records are to the record at the center of the record spiral, the more tags they share. The site offers opportunities for visitors to make their own collections, use records to create posters and movies, and take challenges that use clues to guide visitors along pathways of connected records. The interactive interface is connected to a backend server, giving the National Archives’ staff the ability to add records and update detailed record information with a content management tool."--from Second Story (Developer Website)
