Welcome to Michael Jackson Ultimate Archive, your one stop, for, quite literally, everything Michael Jackson. So, what do I mean by this? In 2015 (with groundwork having started in 2011), to ensure everyone and future generations could experience his entire life's work in one place, I set out to create a hub that would catalog and archive every video, audio, interview, image, etc. of Michael Jackson (and the stories from the people who met or knew him). Fans and scholars have wanted more material, but he left behind so much work (as well as the countless stories from his collaborators, colleagues, family, and friends), a lot of which have not been experienced by even the most seasoned fans. I stand by his quote from a 2007 interview:

"I know the creator will go but his work survives. That is why to escape death I attempt to bind my soul to my work."

In order to accomplish this monstrous task, I am organizing all media and information in a timeline format, with years available in the sidebar. This will allow you to take a journey through his life, and experience the life of one of the most documented individuals of all time. All media will have an original source archived, and photos and video content are aimed to be of the highest quality (direct rip files when available). This is very much a work-in-progress; however, it has been a project years in the making, so its progress will be relatively quick. You can view my latest updates here. This will be my ultimate tribute, for someone who deeply impacted my life and helped me realize the greater joys in this world: a person who lived life to the absolute fullest, whose talent, drive, heart, and humanitarian spirit left an indelible mark on the world. I sincerely hope you enjoy, and take his work and message to heart in your own life.
