Archives

There aren't paper and ink books remaining for the most part; the bulk of the archived is comprised of copies of the old ship computer data cores, which require specialized readers to access. (And while data on these cores cannot be altered, access to large swathes of it is highly restricted.) Archives of all network traffic are also available (and tied into the network, allowing remote access) but there it is an open question as to how reliable those are when they can be easily scrubbed.

Media is accessed on site through tablets, thin glass surfaces, glasses sets not allowed to leave the site.

For a fee the goes toward the maintenance of the archives, specific files can be copied to a data device. This is often done for old music and movies.

Archivists are on site to aid with research. The Archives are a popular destination for school trips.
