+# French National Library Archiving
+
+The library has taken an interest in archiving CoMaps and its data as a snapshot
+of our world and the way people interact with maps, in a way that doesn't rely on
+maintaining servers etc. (With an APK and MWM files and some copy-paste, you can
+reproduce our app on an emulator etc.)
+
+## Instructions
+
+Every 6 months or so, @jeanbaptisteC may ask to upload the most recent map version
+and a custom APK with bundled World map (googleRelease) with production keys (like web release).
+
+Credentials for `frlibrary` are in the mapgen rclone, or in zyphlar/pastk's password managers.
+
+To upload (modify dates accordingly):
+
+```
+rclone copy CoMaps-25110702-google-release.apk frlibrary:/apk/
+rclone copy 251104 frlibrary:/maps/251104
+```
