Hello, I am Rowan Pierce.

Rowan's Website, Aka:piercingRchives/archives-03.

Welcome to Piercing Archives.

I recover lost digital media from secondhand devices: old laptops

memory cards, email backups, abandoned blogs. My interest lies in

the fragments: the corrupted files, the half-finished drafts, the things that almost didn’t survive.

Everything here is preserved as found, with minimal intervention.

Some files are incomplete, timestamps may be off, and portions may be unreadable, and for that I apologize.

This is a personal collection, a small attempt to save what the internet forgot.

If you have questions or thoughts, you can contact Rowan.
