One history, told twice.

A numbered monograph for collectors. A popular history for everyone else. Board and card games for the table.

The Archive Series is the publishing and play department of The Archive: two book branches and a games line, all built from the same sculptor-history research that runs through the rest of the archive.

The Monograph

Hand-bound, numbered, museum-grade. 200 copies per volume. Starting with a monograph on Czech figurative sculpture.

II.

The Popular History

The same research, told as a story worth reading, for readers who would never buy a monograph but will read a good one.

III.

The Games

Board and card games about sculptors and their era. The same history, made playable.
