# Aether (AE) Archives Module

The Archives module is a system for storing and retrieving archived data. It is composed of two main data structures: `Archive` and `Archive_Content`.

## Data Structures

### Archive

An `Archive` is a container for a collection of `Archive_Content` items. It has a name, description, and other metadata.

### Archive Content

An `Archive_Content` item represents a single piece of content within an `Archive`. This can be text, a file, a URL, or other data.

## Functionality

This module provides the following functionality:

- **CRUD Operations:** Create, Read, Update, and Delete operations for both `Archive` and `Archive_Content` objects.
- **Local Caching:** Uses Dexie.js to cache data in the browser's IndexedDB for offline access and faster load times.
- **API Interaction:** All data operations are synced with the backend API.
