About Us

This is a 100% volunteer run community archive

Organised by a small group of current and former residents of 13 Garrett Street, plus many friends and fans of the building.

Our Values:

  • ✰ Data sovereignty
  • ✰ No big corps (we don't use google or amazon services to store or transfer data)
  • ✰ Archival content cannot be used for commercial or for-profit projects
