The Digital Archive of Indigenous Languages of the Amazon (Archivo Digital de Lenguas Indígenas de la Amazonia —ARDILIA) is not just a storage space for unpublished audiovisual materials in indigenous languages of the Amazon region. Its purpose is to support local processes of living memory and to make these materials available to the communities they originate from, as well as to other peoples and the wider world. The archive rejects the notion of reducing its contents to mere "digital objects" and instead emphasizes the immanent power of the words contained in it. Archival curation, therefore, goes beyond documenting and preserving objects; it also involves a spiritual healing process. Unlike the largest digital archives of native languages in Europe and the United States, which focus on safeguarding endangered languages from a formal- textualist perspective, ARDILIA takes a different approach. It is a language archive created in collaboration with the communities of the Upper Amazon, located in Leticia, Colombia. The archive gives these communities complete control over the materials and defines its own policies of use and access, serving as a technological instrument for the living memory of the peoples.
