Blog Carnival as a Collaborative Archive

I had an interesting idea in the car on the way home.

I've been reading about archives--how they are formed and how they are used. Are blog carnivals archives that are formed collaboratively? The are a collection of documents, kept in one place, but instead of being shaped by one or two archivists, they are shaped by many people. It's a collection of documents whose authors thought they were worth collecting and sharing under a common heading.

Kinda neat.

It's actually a collection of references to articles... does that count as an archive or not?
