State of the Royal Archives 22 October 2026

[GV]

I am relieved to report https://wiki.talossa.com/Royal_Archives has finally been updated as of today, 22 October 2026.  The update is not much, but I've excised all the ancient text from May 2020, and little by little, I will work most every day to keep things on a far-better footing than I have the past few years.

Since 2022, real life has greatly intervened, but I've come to a place where doing more in Talossa besides just voting in the Senäts is something I can actually do.

A word of warning: I work slow, and you will never again see the level of frenzied activity I've put into Talossa as you've seen before, only to see me fizzle out and disappear.  This is why the "42 Project" I put together eight years ago was so successful.  It had specific goals, and I gave myself the time to accomplish most of those goals.

In the next six months or so (not before New Year's into 2027), I will put together a new project that will, like the "42 Project", bring my frazzled brain into order and help to continue to preserve Talossa's collective memory.

Also, I want to thank everyone for your patience and to AD whose random email/DM in the past few weeks about the state of the Archives has prompted me into this new bit of action and iteration.

As to the state of the Royal Archives, my physical holdings continue to reside in the closet of my apartment in five plastic tubs.  In due course, I will provide photos as well as a complete inventory of same.

More soon - GV, Royal Archivist
