Preserving Austin, one story at a time
KEEP KEEPING IT WEIRD
Austin Archives
Is a media project we started as two Austin locals and longtime friends to scratch our creative itch and give back to the city we love. We're documenting the people, places, and stories that make Austin what it is through documentary-style videos and collaborations with the community and local nonprofits.Here's how it works: We find someone or something with deep roots in Austin's culture and history, get their blessing, and make a documentary-style video that tells their story the right way. When the doc drops on our site and socials, we also release limited-edition merch inspired by that subject, with a portion of every sale going to an Austin nonprofit.
Between bigger projects, we're staying busy hosting events, organizing volunteer opportunities, making smaller videos, and dropping our own Austin Archives gear to help fund the next documentary and keep this thing going.
Basically, we're trying to preserve what makes Austin special while building something that gives back to the community. It's storytelling, it's merch, it's grassroots, it's whatever it needs to be to celebrate this city and the people who built it.
