How the Archive works
Read it like evidence, because part of it is.
The intake record
Where the file was found, what was inside, and its current status. Read it first. It is the last time anything will feel normal.
The recovered file
A story, a transcript, a set of witness statements, a device log. Real history runs through it, marked in red, so you always know which parts are on the record.
The sources
Every real claim is numbered and cited: government reports, court records, journals, museum catalogues. Check them. We want you to.
The archivist's note
The last thing the Archive knows. It is not always true. Compare it to the sources. Readers who do are the ones who sleep worst.

Vault questions
What do I get when I unseal a file?
Each file is a complete story with an intake record, the recovered document, a full list of cited sources, and an archivist's note. Buy one file, one volume, or the complete Archive. Your purchase is yours to keep and read on any device.
Is any of this real?
The records are. Every file is built on documented history: declassified programs, court rulings, scientific papers, museum objects and government reports, each one cited. What happens to the people inside those records is where the citations stop. We can't claim those parts are true. Read the sources, then use your own judgment.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no account to read. At checkout we ask only for an email to deliver your files, plus what the payment processor requires.
Can I get a refund?
Yes in some cases: if you were charged twice, if a technical problem on our side blocks access, or if you ask within 14 days and have not opened the files. See the Refund Policy for details.
Is there anything free?
Yes. File 027 is free to read in full, and every file's opening is free. The Research Library and Evidence Locker are free as well.
