Parking maters are a great example of a fairly contemporary archiving system (the first electronic parking meters were introduced in the early 90s). They represent interactions that go on between different archives such as personal habits/memories (remembering to pay for a ticket, put ticket on dashboard), data (internal ticketing software), receipt of payment as a physical record (or electronic if using credit card), as well as the actions this type of archiving ‘dicates’ (I.e. when you need to be back to move your car, where you park your car in the first place). As Associate Professor at the University of New South Wales, Andrew Murphie, describes in a media lecture “the way the archive is organised (its structure) in part determines what action is possible, what culture (or even person) might result”. It is quite clear the actions that a parking meter allows for/determines, but perhaps more interestingly is the culture or person they can produce. Many people can become extremely annoyed with an archival device such as a parking meter (its cost, location, its existence etc.) to the extent that sometimes certain cultures (I.e. using an alternative mode of transport so as to avoid parking meters) can result from this.
