About the Archive
The National Archive of the Velocity Interoperability Network keeps the permanent records of the Network: the instruments that established it, the standards it has adopted, the notices published in the Official Register and the records of its departments.
It preserves those records, describes them in a public catalogue and makes them available to anyone who wishes to consult them, without charge. Its exhibitions and games draw on the same records to show how the Network was founded and how its rules were first applied.
Using the Archive

- Visiting and access

- Frequently asked questions
