Help Preserve Universal Orlando’s Past
CONTRIBUTE TO THE VAULT
A lot of Universal Orlando history isn’t in an official archive. It’s in photo albums, VHS tapes, closets, boxes, and old hard drives.
If you’ve got something, the Universal Vault wants to see it.
Have a Piece of Universal History?
Old photos. Home video. Park maps. Brochures. Memorabilia. Stories.
A family shot with the Ghostbusters. A VHS tape of Kongfrontation. A 1992 map you never threw out. A picture of the Jaws: The Revenge shark in the Boneyard.
Doesn’t have to be rare. If it shows what the park used to be, it belongs here.

Vacation photos, extinct attractions, construction, characters, props and everyday moments around the parks.
VIDEO
