As of April 21st 2026, automatic archival is disabled. All content will continue to be accessible.
Patchwork Archive aims to archive original songs and covers created by VTubers. The goal of Patchwork Archive is to preserve a subset of VTuber content for preservation of culture.
Original songs and covers are archived. Short form content is archived on a case by case basis (usually it'll be archived if its a unique cover or song not available elsewhere)
All archived content was available publicly on YouTube at the time of processing.
Currently we archive the following data for each video:
- 1080p version of each video [lower if unavailable]
- Highest available resolution thumbnail (maxresdefault.jpg) [lower if unavailable]
- Metadata (in the form of .info.json generated by yt-dlp)
- All non-livechat and auto-generated captions as YouTube Timed Text
That said any donations will be put towards cost of the growing cost of the CDN (serving content) and storage

- Patchwork Radio - VTuber Songs and Covers Radio
