The Altered States Archive

Our Team

The Archive exists because of the dedication of countless volunteers from around the world—students, researchers, artists, and curious minds alike—each united by a shared pursuit of knowledge and a desire to preserve human experience with care. This project is not the work of a few, but the collective effort of many. We extend our deepest gratitude to every contributor who has taken the time to listen, read, extract, and document these profound accounts. Your commitment ensures these voices are not lost to time.
