Overview
Long-Term Hosting for Community Archives is a mission to safeguard the memories, conversations, and creative outputs that define our shared digital culture. This project focuses on durable, accessible hosting for a growing collection of community archives, research notes, and evolving game lore. By ensuring stable storage and persistent access, we empower researchers, players, readers, and creators to learn, remix, and build on what came before.
Our aim is not only to keep files online but to keep them legible and usable for years to come. That means robust backups, clear metadata, and a hosting strategy designed to outlast trends. With clear governance and transparent practices, the project remains accountable to the people who contribute their time, knowledge, and resources.
For this initiative, the focus is on sustainability: predictable costs, accessible archives, and a community-driven approach to preservation. By supporting this effort, you help maintain an enduring home for lore, research, and collaborative projects that span across communities and platforms.
