Reason: Missing representation of relevance. The only source is a press release from the operator himself. A meaning like the Barabara tunnel cannot be recognized. Apparently a private archiving initiative as a service with a few restrictions regarding customers. Finned 10:53 Aug. 13 2020 (UTC)

The Arctic World Archive ( AWA ) (also no. Dommedagshvelv [et] or en. Doomsday vault ) is a state-owned project that has existed since 2017 in a former coal mine on Svalbard for the archiving of data on world-wide important cultural goods, which was carried out by Piql AS operated jointly with the state-owned mining company Store Norske Spitsbergen Kulkompani .

In addition to copies of physical objects, software is also documented. The data should remain accessible and usable for hundreds of years. Film was chosen as the storage medium, which is developed into microfilm and then into nanofilm with the help of nanotechnology .

Not far is the Svalbard Global Seed Vault .

The first customer was the Brazilian National Archives . In 2020, representatives of the Holy See handed in manuscripts and drawings from the Middle Ages on rolls of film for storage. The documents included Sandro Botticelli's illustrations for Dante's Divine Comedy . Delegations from Russia, South Korea, China, Italy, Mexico and Spain also submitted documents for safekeeping. Other works stored in the archive include copies of the Gutenberg Bible , the Ambras book of heroes and recordings of the work of art Der Schrei by Edvard Munch .
