- Description: A twice-yearly pass through your back catalogue that keeps old issues useful and findable.
- Author: Avery Lin

Your archive is how new readers decide whether to subscribe. Twice a year, spend an hour making it work for them.

## Titles and labels

1. Rename vague issue titles so they say what is inside.
2. Check that free, members-only and paid labels are correct.
3. Make sure every issue has a short excerpt.

## Links

1. Run a broken-link check on your ten most-visited issues.
2. Point old links at newer, better resources where you have them.

## Promote the best

1. Pick five issues that still hold up and turn them into library resources, or link them from your welcome email.
2. Add a "start here" section to your homepage or about page.

## Retire the rest

1. Unpublish anything that is wrong or embarrassing, rather than leaving it to be found.
2. Note recurring topics. They may be ready to become a guide.
