Keeping Found Things Found project (KFTF) is a research study sponsored by the National Science Foundation which seeks to determine how, once personal information is found, it is organized for re-access and re-use later on. This is referred to as the problem of Keeping Found Things Found™ or KFTF. KFTF is a key challenge of Personal Information Management or PIM. This study, headed by principal researchers William Jones and Harry Bruce, both of the University of Washington Information School, focuses on the management and organization of personal information around projects: activities that span days or months and involve the coordination of information from multiple sources.
