Sidon Adventure Archive
Contribute to the Archive
The Sidon Adventure Archive is still growing, and contributions can make a genuine difference. Scans, corrections, recollections, catalogue notes, credits, interview leads, and historical context all help strengthen the record.
The aim is not simply to gather material, but to preserve it thoughtfully and present it with proper care, context, and respect for creators and rights holders.

What you can contribute
Contributions do not need to be dramatic. Even small corrections or a single missing scan can help make the archive more accurate and complete.
Historical information
- Release dates and platform variants
- Studio timelines and staff details
- Corrections to existing pages
- Links to reliable external sources
- Technical or publishing notes
Personal recollections
- Memories from players and collectors
- Context around local availability
- Ownership histories of rare material
- Connections to creators or former staff
- Interview suggestions and introductions
Submission guidance
How to send material
Best practice
- Include as much identifying detail as you can
- Note the platform, publisher, and region if known
- Say whether the item is original, a copy, or a later reprint
- Keep scans straight and legible where possible
- Tell us if you want to be credited, unnamed, or contacted first
Helpful context to include
- Where and when the material came from
- Whether you own the physical item
- Any uncertainty around dates or variants
- Any details that still need confirming
- Whether the material has appeared elsewhere before
Care and copyright
Important contribution principles
Respect for rights holders
Contributions should support preservation and documentation, not bypass the rights of creators or owners.
Accuracy over speed
It is better to send partial information honestly labelled as uncertain than to guess and create confusion in the record.
Editorial discretion
Submitted material may be edited, summarised, held back, or declined if it is unclear, inappropriate, or legally problematic.

How contributions will be handled
A fuller submission and contact workflow will be added as the archive grows. For now, this page acts as the public guide for what kinds of material are useful and how contributions will be approached.
Planned future workflow
- Direct contribution contact route
- Clear credit preferences
- Review and follow-up process
- Page update acknowledgements where appropriate
For now
This page can be used as the archive’s public contribution statement while the rest of the redesign is built out. Later on, it can be expanded with contact details, upload guidance, and more formal submission notes.
