+# Proposed Archive Structure
+
+> Target: `.13` `/mnt/ubuntu_storage_3TB/archive/`
+
+## Design Principles
+
+- **Top-level by category** (not by person) — categories are stable, people change
+- **Numbered prefixes** — keeps folders in logical order, not alphabetical jumble
+- **Person sub-folders** inside relevant categories where data is personal
+- **Flat enough to navigate** — max 3 levels deep
+- **Obsidian destination** — notes, ideas, configs eventually migrate there
+

+## How the Current Data Maps In
+
+| Current Location | New Home | Notes |
+|----------------|----------|-------|
+| `ALL_TRANFERS/WORK/` (130G) | `02_projects/web/` | Old websites, htdocs, Flash |
+| `ALL_TRANFERS/Music/` (121G) | `03_media/music/` | After move to .35 Jellyfin? |
+| `ALL_TRANFERS/MOVIES_TV/` (341G) | `03_media/movies/` + `tv/` | Already on .35 duplicate |
+| `ALL_TRANFERS/sam rolfe/` (137G) | `01_family/sam/` + sort | Review contents |
+| `ALL_TRANFERS/DOCUMENTS/` (2.5G) | `05_documents/` | |
+| `ALL_TRANFERS/sams_piano_recordings/` | `06_creative/sams_piano/` | |
+| `ALL_TRANFERS/UNI_STUDY/` | `04_education/sam_uni/` | |
+| `ALL_TRANFERS/phone_recordings/` | `06_creative/phone_recordings/` | |
+
+## What Lives Where on Active Machines
+
+- **`.35` `/mnt/hd/`** — Runs the services (Docker data stays put). Media content is served from here directly by Jellyfin/Immich.
+- **`.13` `/mnt/ubuntu_storage_3TB/archive/`** — The permanent archive. Cold/warm data lives here.
+- **`.27`** — Current dev work, coding projects. Eventually pushes completed projects to archive.
+
+## Naming Convention
+
+| Element | Rule | Example |
+|---------|------|---------|
+| Top-level folders | `##_name/` | `02_projects/` |
+| Sub-folders | lowercase_with_underscores | `sams_piano/` |
+| Files | lowercase_with_underscores.ext | `project_notes.txt` |
+| Family folders | firstname | `harry/` |
+
+This keeps everything sortable and avoids the space-in-filename issues.
