Club Penguin Archives is a site dedicated to preserving the memory of Club Penguin through its files. Since December 12, 2010, it has grown to become the largest public Club Penguin file database on the internet.
History
swf.cpcheats.info, part of a Club Penguin cheats forum and blog, was the primary archive of Club Penguin SWF files until the site was taken down in December 2010. Refractor compressed a copy of the site which was then uploaded to the month-old Club Penguin Wiki Network by Tux. This paved way for the creation of the Club Penguin Archives Wiki: a new wiki dedicated to the archival and preservation of SWF Club Penguin files.
In these early times, ClubPenguinMaster was the main editor and administrator on Archives until the Fall of 2012, when new users from the across network began to help out. To adjust to the growing community, the administration was expanded and the new leadership began urging users to upload SWF files of all languages rather than English exclusively.
By the end of 2012, Archives had a small but active community and was appropriately renamed to Club Penguin Archives, with a new main page and logo in time for the wiki's second anniversary. Archives would also see the promotion of their first bureaucrat (ClubPenguinMaster) at Cp kid's request to Network staff to help Archives become more independent. In May 2015, we continued to expand our library by also including JSON files and the Club Penguin app's files.
However, nothing is meant to last forever. On March 29, 2017, the original Club Penguin closed down and its media database followed two weeks after. The classic game's successor, Club Penguin Island, was discontinued before the end of 2018, marking the indefinite end to the Club Penguin brand. Three years later, Adobe ended support for Flash and by extension, the SWF file format— the same file format which Club Penguin had primarily consisted of. Despite these conclusions, the mission of Club Penguin Archives continues to this day.
