Preserve the history. Defend the future.
Every box, every manual, every disc, every cartridge: physical fragments of a collective memory. Archivo de Guardianes is the place where that memory is preserved, shared, and endures.
What is the Archivo de Guardianes
Archivo de Guardianes is a non-profit project. It is not a store or a social network, but a living archive built by players and collectors from all over the world to preserve the cultural, historical and emotional value of physical video game formats.
Every shared story becomes part of a collective memory, kept by those who believe that the physical format is not just a way of playing, but part of our heritage as players, one that deserves to be preserved for future generations.
Purpose of the project
- Cultural preservation
- Preserving the physical format as part of video game heritage, beyond its original function.
- Shared memory
- Building a collective archive of real stories, told by those who lived them.
- Historical approach
- Looking at the physical format with respect and historical perspective, without confrontation or commercial urgency.
