THE INSTITUTION
Headquarters Relics
An archive becomes real when it leaves paperwork behind.
The Archives are more than the stories they preserve. These are the objects, documents, and artifacts that belong to the institution itself — physical evidence of how the Archives came to exist and how they continue to operate.
Some institutions have filing cabinets. Ours also has a ladybug.
The Fraggle Archives Charter
The founding document of the Archives, establishing their purpose, principles, and commitment to preserving the stories that matter.
The Curator's Note
A statement from the Curator concerning the purpose, preservation, and continued care of the Fraggle Archives.
This document records not only what the Archives preserve, but why those things are worthy of preservation.
The Archives Map
A record of the Archives Headquarters, including the Great Hall, Restricted Section, Department of Heroics, Creamy Vault, and other important locations.
The Whisker Jar
Whiskers and fur clippings found and saved over time from the cats who have called the Archives home. Kept together rather than assigned to any one resident, the jar preserves tiny traces of many lives — an accidental collection slowly built one whisker at a time.
Dr. Vacuum Cleaner
An object of unusual significance whose presence within the Archives has yet to receive a completely satisfactory explanation.
Steve — Ladybug Friend
A small but persistent member of Archive history.
Steve has appeared during important events and is believed to be considerably more involved in Archive operations than anyone officially acknowledges.
THE HEADQUARTERS PRINCIPLE
Every institution develops its own mythology.
Some of it is documented. Some of it is operational. Some of it is Steve.
