Info
The Philippine Internet Archive preserves the Filipino internet and seeks for us to be better caretakers for digital history, made and in the making.
A new initiative to archive and investigate Filipino internet history & culture—making identifiable & accessible a history that is irreversibly intertwined with the web's grain. Our politics, lives, and spirits cannot be decoupled from the web's force, and it is time to take control of our identities and history on this ephemeral form.
We are principled against revisionism, aiming to uplift counternarratives to the Filipino internet and amplify hyperlocal contexts that have been historically written out of history.

The Archive is founded and stewarded by Chia Amisola.
It is in partnership with Developh, also founded by Chia, a community of critical practice reclaiming technology as a tool for liberation rather than oppression.
