I’m want to set a featured image for the archive templates of my theme. To my knowledge, there is not a way to do so in the WordPress Admin (like Pages and Posts).

I was thinking about writing a function that filters through the currently uploaded featured images and matches the template to the file name. Might be a bit complex.

I also know there are theme options. But this seems like a lot to manage.

How would you recommend doing this that facilitates Featured Image administration (Theme -> Header) and ease of maintenance…

There are lots of archives in WordPress. Tag archives, date archives, category archives, term archives, author archives. Which archive do you mean?

You could start by trying the Taxonomy Images plugin
