We are building the world's most comprehensive databases of cultural artifacts — hardware, magazines, trading cards, and comics — and making every byte available to developers, researchers, and historians.
Each database in the network is independently comprehensive — and together they form the most complete archive of consumer culture ever assembled.
Every consumer hardware device ever manufactured — computers, consoles, handhelds, peripherals, and more. Sourced from EU EPREL, GUDID, EPA ENERGY STAR, and 30+ global registries.
The complete archive of gaming print media — every issue, every review, every cover — from EGM and Nintendo Power to Edge, Famitsu, and hundreds more. 1981 to the digital age.
Every trading card, every set, every edition — sports, fantasy, Japanese, American, and game cards. The only database that spans all card games in one unified API.
Every comic book issue, every publisher, every arc — Marvel, DC, Image, Dark Horse, and thousands of independent titles. The definitive comic archive with full API access.
Physical media disappears. Magazines go out of print. Hardware gets discontinued. Trading cards deteriorate. Comics fade. The record of what humanity made, bought, read, and played is vanishing — one landfill and one attic cleanout at a time.
The Preservation Network exists to stop that. We digitize, catalog, and index cultural artifacts that no institution has bothered to systematically preserve — and we build APIs so that anyone can query, build on, and benefit from that record.
This is not an archive you visit. It is infrastructure you build with. A foundation for researchers, historians, developers, and anyone who believes the past is worth keeping.
