About this archive
This website presents a fictional archive.
The Institute is fictional
The Institute for Recovery of Irreplaceable Specimens (I.R.I.S.) and Iris Cockatoo belong to the Iris Cockatoo fictional universe created by Mike Capps. This website is not the public archive of a real recovery institution.
Archive records tell a fictional story
The in-world records, accession numbers, field notes, custody histories and institutional labels are presented as parts of a fictional narrative. Their archival appearance does not establish authenticity, ownership, provenance or evidence of a real expedition.
Real references, imagined events
The stories may use real places, historical names, period details and photographic references. Their inclusion does not make the fictional events or institutional claims true. Images should be read in the context of their accompanying record, not as proof that the events described took place.
How the material is made
Selected illustrations, graphical assets and supplementary articles were made with the help of generative AI, under human direction and editorial review. Read the Terms of Use & AI Disclosure for ownership, permissions and use information.
Not a historical source
Please do not cite this fictional archive as evidence of real people’s actions, historical events or an object’s provenance. Where real history appears, it provides a setting for the story.
