The Eternal Archives is a large structure in Skylands that houses every book that has been published from every corner of the universe. It also holds the most dangerous books ever written, which are protected by the guardians and curators of the Archives, the Warrior Librarians, founded by Pomfrey Lefuzzbottom.
The Archives is stated by Wiggleworth to contain books that are powerful, magical and evil. Books make up most of its architecture, from bridges to walls and even doors, with some sentient books even helping visitors on their own. Like Boom Town, it contains its own Portal of Power, which looks much more ancient and damaged than previously seen ones.
In Spyro versus The Mega Monsters, the Eternal Archives were attacked by mega-sized Chompies unleashed by Kaos, who attempted to steal a book from the Archive about world domination. The Skylanders were fortunately enlisted by the Warrior Librarians to help protect the books inside the Archive walls, and were successfully able to defeat the Chompies and drive Kaos off. During the quest for the Mask of Power, it was a center of operations where the Book of Power was held and where Master Eon would discover the whereabouts of Mask pieces. It wasn't until the events of Stump Smash Crosses the Bone Dragon that the Archives became an unsafe place to secure the Mask fragments, thanks to an agent of Kaos: a traitorous Warrior Librarian named Squirmgrub.
Skylanders: Trap Team (3DS)[]
The Eternal Archives made its game appearance as the main hub world for the Nintendo 3DS version of Skylanders: Trap Team. It held a cursed book that makes the reader fall asleep when read, which allowed the Dream Sheep and his Nightmare Villains to be released from the Realm of Dreams and wreck havoc in the real world for world conquest. With the help of the Warrior Librarians and sentient books, the Skylanders used gates inside the archives to track down the villains and find the means to stop the Dream Sheep from putting all of Skylands to sleep.

Statues of dragons are seen through the library, though it is unknown if they are for decoration or dragons have any important relation to the building.
The Eternal Archives are the only location in the games to debut in other media first.
