The Ninth Archive was an immersive storytelling experiment: tales, illustrations, and artifacts from a phantasmagorical realm that slowly entwined with our own.

The project began in 2017. In 2022, its co-founder and illustrator, Marcelo Gallegos, passed away. This brought about the end of the project, and nothing new will be created for it. This website will attempt to gather together all that was a part of it, to preserve and to exhibit.
