About Us
This is meant to be an as-complete-as-possible archive of Mechanisms and Dr. Carmilla lore, sources, and content. We hope to preserve as much material as possible and prevent further loss of information to the depths of the Internet. As a secondary purpose, we also hope to create an easy reference to as much canon as possible.
We have expanded to accepting videos of Jessica Law's current shows! If you have recordings of Jess live we would love them!
Here is the link to the archive:

This project has been compiled by tumblr users @miralines and @gunpowderdtim / @garecc. Both of us are fans of the Mechs with no association to the band, who began this project in November 2022 when Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter led to concerns about the site’s future. We worked to screenshot and preserve the lore posted on the official twitter as well as what individual band members have posted. It expanded from there, and is still in progress as we preserve existing sources and occasionally discover new ones.
Brief Q/A - before you ask, check here!!
Q: Where can I get band merchandise?
A: Currently, there is no official band merchandise available. There have been plans to possibly drop more CDs. This was stated on Twitter.
Q: Can I have photos of a certain mechanism?
A: Yes, but all photos are available in the link above in the Photos folder!
Q: Wait, Doctor Carmilla is making a new band??
A: Yes! Dr. Carmilla & The Void Quartet exist. They are currently working on their music. In the meanwhile, check out Maki's bandcamp for more Dr. Carmilla content!
Q: is there a live recording of [name] HNOC song?
A: Unfortunately not. The video on YouTube is what we have. The camera died mid show :(
Q: Did you ever find that BBC radio show?
A: No. The BBC radio archive is not public and accessing the radio archives is pretty much impossible for hobbyists like ourselves.
