Rediscover the work before you decide what you can show.
The best example of your work may be buried in an old client mailbox or file tree. Search the archive to recover deliverables, correspondence, dates, people, and project context, then make a separate judgment about what can be shared publicly.
Use AtArchive to locate representative messages, attachments, and supported files from old client work. Private archive access does not automatically grant permission to publish the material or name the client.
Useful portfolio source material
The archive can help you find the evidence behind your memory.
Final deliverables
Decks, documents, spreadsheets, images, or attachments may represent the work better than a remembered description.
Project milestones
Messages and meetings can restore dates, phases, and the factual shape of the engagement.
Your role and collaborators
Correspondence can help you remember who did what without relying solely on hindsight.
Recover privately before publishing selectively
Keep discovery and publication as separate decisions.
Search the client and period
Use Organization, People, date range, attachments, and file paths.
Open representative artifacts
Confirm the actual source material and your connection to it.
Apply permission and confidentiality
Use only material you are entitled to show in a portfolio or case study.
Archiving permission is not publishing permission
Client records can be legitimate to retain privately while remaining confidential or restricted publicly.
- Respect NDAs and contracts.
- Avoid exposing personal or sensitive information.
- Do not claim sole authorship where work was collaborative.
