While the topic of this conference focuses on paths to the future, this archive aims to preserve snapshots of significant past and present releases of TEX software, so they will remain available for reference and won’t get lost when new versions are installed. Apart from explaining the motivation behind the project, this paper also presents an overview of what the archive currently contains and what is still missing. 1
