Welcome to the Half-Life Library, a virtual bookshelf to all things Half-Life and Valve.

Half-Life Library is a Half-Life and Valve wiki where anybody can edit and add as much content as they want. This site focuses more on user generated content like custom maps, modifications, videos, models, clans and more for all of Valve's games.

There is room for anything relating to Half-Life at all, we are all about keeping the memories and stories of Half-Life's past and future, just like a real library. At the Half-Life Library, retaining nostalgia is our main driving force. This means whether you have a Half-Life 2: Deathmatch clan, a Counter-Strike server, a Team Fortress 2 video, a full-fledged Source modification or any combination of the above, a page is waiting for you to create.

To begin adding and editing, you must register an account. If you would like to find out more, please visit our help page or visit the main Half-Life Library page. Half-Life Library contains 175 articles since August 2008. A detailed number of statistics are also available.

Download Repository

Half-Life Library has launched a new section of our archival system meant to preserve files mostly for modifications. The MediaWiki software does not inherently allow archived files to be maintained on the website so we will be hosting all non-imagery files in our Downloads Repository.
