Archive for Processing is an (unofficial) archive of resources for the Processing community. It collects software related to Processing, p5.js, Python mode / Processing.py, p5py, pyp5js, R Mode / Processing.R, and other related languages, modes, libraries, and tools.

The project is intended to make the distributed ecosystem of open source libraries, modes, tools, example sets, and documentation a bit more robust. It does this by acting as a fallback, providing simple redundancy via a list of forked GitHub repositories and offline backup for distributed binaries. These forks and binary backups are to help guard against future project loss. In particular, given that many of the core open source resources of the Processing community are generously self-hosted by their contributing authors, the archive attempt to keep such works available even if their associated accounts, websites, et cetera are no longer maintained.

Archive for Processing may also serve as a list / index for browsing the amazing variety of Processing resources. However, this is an infrequently updated archive, not a directory – it is not comprehensive. More importantly, it is **not a live mirror**! Always use original official author repositories whenever available.

This GitHub organization account approaches this goal in the following ways:

1. Forks:

2. Contributions

The archive contains both inactive and active projects – it includes forks of ongoing, under-development repositories.

**Archive for Processing** currently archives (as of 2020-03-28):

- ~ 217 PDE Contributions Manager packages as version-tracked releases (properties files and zips)
- ~ 352 GitHub repositories as forks with regularly updated offline copies

If you have materials that you would like to recommend for archiving or request be restored, please open an issue at [https://github.com/archive-for-processing/archive-for-processing/issues](https://github.com/archive-for-processing/archive-for-processing/issues)

Archive for Processing has launched a new project:

> **Forked Libraries for Processing** : an archive of template-forked libs, one per branch

> **[GitHub - archive-for-processing/processing-forked-libraries: Forked Libraries...](https://github.com/archive-for-processing/processing-forked-libraries)**

> Forked Libraries for Processing: an archive of template-forked libs, one per branch - GitHub - archive-for-processing/processing-forked-libraries: Forked Libraries for Processing: an archive of tem...

It currently archives ~60 libraries which were originally forked from the library template for Eclipse. These include:
