About the Pax heritage archive
Preserving surviving public records from the Pax Imperius, Pax Dominus, and Pax Gaming communities, with a research window from 2001 to 2017.
What has been catalogued
This release contains 40 year-specific research entries (including 14 original 2004 article metadata records), 30 named guilds or related entities with qualification labels, 18 evidence source records, a searchable database, and a separately identified reconstruction of a 2005 Pax Dominus page.
What has not been recovered
Original PHP/MySQL database content, complete forum discussions, historical login/permissions, private messages, original stylesheet files, and original site artwork have not been recovered here. Original public records may be absent from the archive or still require successful Internet Archive retrieval.

Historical provenance
Entries distinguish contemporary announcements, retrospective member recollections, self-reported figures, planned guilds, and known coverage gaps. The original snapshot behind the 2005 reconstruction is Pax Dominus, January 29, 2005. Its look and feel here are an interpretation, not recovered original CSS.
Correction and attribution
If you maintain original Pax Gaming materials or believe a historical record needs correction, please compare the linked primary sources before making changes. Original rights in artwork, posts, and branding remain with their respective creators.
