The New Babbage Register – Second Life Steampunk

The New Babbage Register – The virtual Second Life Steampunk City-State of New Babbage has had a number of off-world incarnations since its inception. From the original New Babbage Forums & New Babbage Cog, to the New Babbage Ning, and the current City of New Babbage homepage, many changes have taken place, but unfortunately, much has been lost of one of Second Life’s longest lasting Steamland sims (though not as long Caledon, to respond to those who were already thinking of sharpening their pencils regarding this)!

To try to address the loss of history that has taken place over the years, I’ve started up the New Babbage Register, to assist the formal New Babbage Department of Records and Archives in keeping New Babbage’s past intact. Its a bit of a Gibbon-esque endeavor, and though I’m no classic historian by any measure, hopefully it’ll add a bit of retrospective flavor to the entirety of New Babbage.

What is the New Babbage Register?

The New Babbage Register – The virtual Second Life Steampunk City

The New Babbage Cog was the original in-world paper for New Babbage, from February until December, 2007. It presented a wide variety of news and events, until its dissolution.

As a response to fluctuation in off-world news sources for the Independent State, including the demise of the exceptionally popular New Babbage Ning, I have started the New Babbage Register as a supplement to the main New Babbage website, to provide a secondary location to document the history and developments of New Babbage. Please feel free to search around the Register, and do contact the editor (at TheNewBabbageRegister [at] yahoo [dot] com) regarding any questions or submissions!
