Editing Getting started with VRChistory (section)

== What Is VRCHistory? ==

'''VRCHistory.org''' is an unofficial, fan-operated digital archive dedicated to preserving the cultural and technical history of [[VRChat Inc.|VRChat]]. Founded in April 2026 by [[Kingsley Vega]], it functions as a community museum: a permanent, searchable, and open record of the worlds, creators, avatars, events, and platform moments that define VRChat's history.

VRChat changes fast. Worlds break when [[SDK2 to SDK3 (Udon)|Unity versions change]]. Creators move on. Events that thousands attended exist afterward only in memory. VRCHistory exists so that doesn't mean they disappear.

📼 '''Archive Context:''' Every person who contributes to VRCHistory is performing an act of cultural preservation. The platform's history is not maintained by [[VRChat Inc.]] in any archival form — no official record of [[The January 2018 Viral Surge|January 2018]], the original [[The Great Pug|Great Pug]], or the early Furality events would exist in a searchable public form without community-driven efforts like this one. Your contribution is not optional data entry — it is the archive.
