The Pacific Pinball Museum Unveils the Atlas Pinball Archive Preservation Project

Join Evan Phillippe and Michael Shiess as the Pacific Pinball Museum unveils the Atlas Pinball Archive, a new preservation initiative documenting and safeguarding pinball history through rare artifacts, stories, and technical records. The Pacific Pinball Museum is pulling back the curtain on a major preservation effort: the Atlas Pinball Archive. Join Evan Phillippe and Michael Schiess as they reveal how this new project is being built to document, protect, and share pinball history—capturing the stories, artifacts, and technical details that too often get lost to time. Expect a behind-the-scenes look at what they’re collecting, how the archive is being organized, and why this work matters right now for collectors, builders, and future historians. Whether you’re into restoration, research, or just love pinball’s past, this is a rare chance to see what’s being saved—and how you can help keep the legacy intact. This seminar was recorded at Golden State Pinball University 2026 as part of the Pinball University Series. Learn more:
