Welcome to the Halopedia Archive, where we archive Halo media and other information on the franchise.

What is the Archive?

The Halopedia Archive is a collection of Halo media recovered from various sources, saved to preserve the information regardless of what happens to original and/or alternative sources. There are three different types of archives we collect: Text, video, and website.

How to archive

To add an archive to the Archive may depend on the media piece itself. If you have a request for an archive to be added, please put forward a request in the community proposals forum and we will try to add that quickly to the archive.
