Physical monuments that reference history are archives that hold information from a previous time, and bring it into the present. They are not usually hidden, and are available for all (specifically, those who can read the language of inscription) to access. Derrida and Peronwitz (1995) discusses how archives that are placed to dwell somewhere permanently, are an example of the institutional passage through time. Where through their permanency and place of privileged topology, a story/event/person that was once private, becomes forever public.
