The Swift Archives (see former names in info box) is a collection of the collected COMMIEVERSE history. Including thousands of video clips, text files, website backups, images, game servers, and more, they all server to accurately represent certain times and points in the history of the COMMIEVERSE.

Philosophy

“	{{{1}}}	„
	— Taylor Swift

This stance on the collecting and maintaining of the groups history stems from the massive loss of information that occurred due to lack of foresight, carelessness, hard drive wipes, and system failures in the pre-Dark Ages. Almost none of the history of those early years exists outside of scarce and incomplete Ventrilo recording, old forum posts hosted on free sites, and WoW screenshots. As such, most of that history is lost and unable to be accurately immortalized as it is completely at the whim of the historians memory piecing together what scant evidence is available.

Foundation & Friend Vault

The concept of a cohesive collection of historically relevant materials began with the formation of Friend Zone in April of 2012 when Shelarahn began hosting the guilds website and doing graphic work for the group. At the time however, video recording wasnt as simple as it is now, and hardware limitations restricted video collection of most events, along with inexperience and lack of foresight, so even though the Friend Zone archives were well maintained, they were limited mostly to videos and text. Varied PoVs exist from the late Friend Zone era, but are mostly irrelevant to the COMMIEVERSE.

The COMMIE Archives

With the loss of Friend Zone from COMMUNISM control, the entirety of the Friend Vault was sealed and put into cold storage. A fresh archive was prepared for the newly revived COMMUNISM. This time around however, focus was put towards video media works, as opposed to just still images. Most of these videos are saved between the current archives and YouTube, even if some were lost during domain changeovers.
