What is it about?
There are very good reasons to keep research data even if it personal and sensitive - we have commitments to those who come after us. Some examples are given. Privacy worries can be addressed by being open after a long time has elapsed. Perhaps 100 years.

Why is it important?
This is a workable alternative solution to ethics boards and administrators who would rather destroy data than preserve it. We risk impoverishing the future.
Perspectives
This paper comes out of rela life experinces. I have supplied early field photos to the children of people in my early field photos. Sadly some died young and their children had no photos of their parents. Is it ethical to deny them because the consent pprocess didnt cover this eventuality?
