Ten years ago, the Media Archaeology Lab was founded at University of Colorado at Boulder as "a place for cross-disciplinary experimental research and teaching using obsolete tools, hardware, software and platforms". This mission is very much in line with that of the Apple II community: our hobby of using ancient equipment in modern contexts is dependent on preserving hardware and software and maintaining its functionality.

The MAL didn't land on Juiced.GS's radar until 2017, when Juiced.GS contributing writer Chris Torrence of the Assembly Lines podcast began volunteering there. When he invited Juiced.GS editor-in-chief Ken Gagne for a tour earlier this month, it was a perfect opportunity to make a donation, establishing a formal relationship between the two kindred institutions.

The Media Archaeology Lab is now home to a complete collection of Juiced.GS, consisting of all 92 issues published to date, making it the tenth such organization to house the Juiced.GS archive. This collection will be kept current with future issues as they are published. A copy of Steven Weyhrich's Sophistication & Simplicity has also been added to the lab's library.

It's an honor to partner with such a like-minded organization in our mission to preserve the story of the Apple II and its community. We look forward to continuing to collaborate with the Media Archaeology Lab for many volumes of Juiced.GS to come! Until then, please enjoy this photo gallery from our recent visit to their space, showcasing the many Apples and other retrocomputing and retrogaming equipment in the lab's collection.
