The project dates from 1980-2005 and documents distinct decades of the artist's life under the names of Pete Horobin, Marshall Anderson, Peter Haining, Aitch and Haining.
The first of these projects, the DATA (Daily Action Time Archive) 01.01.1980-13.12.1989, was undertaken during the 1980s and reflected Horobin's involvement in the international movements of mail art and neoism.

Repository
Archival history
The material was kept in Mr Haining's home in Dundee as part of his Attic Archive Project. Originally intended to be transferred to one Archive repository in its entirety, space restrictions meant the collection had to be split and transferred to various cultural institutions in Scotland, Ireland and Hungary. Dundee University Archive and Museum Services were gifted material relating to the DATA part of the project.
