If you remember in 1984 Winston Smith was at one stage shown proof positive of history manipulation, only to have his protagenist send the originals down the "memory hole" (an incinerator) as they had written a revised version to replace the original.

It seems that are archives of electronic information can function as a "memory hole" with either replacement or erasure as the end goal.

Some of the adjustments seem to be done in phases, where over a period of time the recorded original is incrementablly replaced.

Some archives are started with replacement materials, and likely never existed in the archived form originally.

Have you seen the memory hole in action?
