On April 20th, a new resource will be made available to the world!
There was an imageboard called Frens Chan, which had a large third position library. Frens Chan died, but, despite being abandoned, the library continued to function. We saw great potential in it and decided to carry the torch, so we contacted Frens Chan's former owner, Stu. We asked him for the library database, which he graciously provided. Then, we got to work on building a new library: the Wessel Archive.
The original Frens Library was a labor of love, but it's a mess, as it went through the hands of many moderators. There are books without covers or descriptions, mislabeled books, and duplicate entries. The Wessel Archive aims to do better. We have solid standards for uploading and editing entries. We have expanded on the content of the old library, so now Frens Library books are less than a third of our total archive, but our website is still based on the Frens Library.
