The Eternal Worlds Foundation is dedicated to the preservation, restoration, and continued accessibility of digital worlds and online gaming communities.
Read about our mission →Through technical innovation, archival efforts, community collaboration, and nonprofit infrastructure, we work to ensure that virtual experiences of historical, cultural, and communal significance are not lost to time.
