Description

The San Francisco headquarters extends the work of preserving web pages, media, and digital cultural artifacts into physical space, hosting public events alongside its online archive of classic games. Guided visits cover the organization's origin and latest initiatives, with a walk up to the second floor and stories about the building's tech infrastructure—including massive Wi-Fi dishes on the roof that beam internet to the surrounding neighborhood. While the initial presentation can run long, the experience offers a grounded look at how digital heritage gets saved.
