Disc Ten: The Zion Archives is the tenth disc in the Ultimate Matrix Collection. It contains thousands of images, movies and files chronicling the development and production of the film saga with concept artwork, character drawings, machines and sets.

The disc holds every trailer and TV spot developed for the series, a nine-minute special effects montage, musics videos from the soundtrack of the films (which feature many concepts and theatrical footage from the first two Matrix films) and a special preview of The Matrix Online and its history.

The DVD takes its name from the Zion Archives featured in the Matrix Comic Bits and Pieces of Information and The Animatrix films The Second Renaissance parts 1 and 2.
