The archive is split into four main categories:

• Education has stories of people sneaking into university lectures without paying a thing, etc.

• Work has stories on the lives of comedians, sex workers, flight attendants, etc.

• Leisure has stories on polyamory, travellers, homeschoolers, freegans, etc.

• The Criminal Justice System covers everything from; reading on the legislators who advance prison reforms, to the terrorists and freedom fighters who get prosecuted as criminals, to stories of poor people getting arrested for dumpster diving food to feed their family.
