Hey everybody. I'm at the internet archive headquarters all day. Tell me something you want to picture of and I'll do my best to supply. Where I can, I'll include a capsule description of what you're looking at as well.

The best partnerships at the archive are between confoundingly committed collectors of digital artifacts and providing a collection of their work.
Such it is with this user who is tracking down each and every Monster High flash game provided over the years in the 2000s, making logos for each, and then making them emulated. I merely gave them a collection. At 450 and counting, this is likely heading towards being comprehensive.
