The Paleozoic Internet →
shrinkinglibrarian:

While we assume that all of the videos, links, jokes, blog posts and one-off websites are there forever, it’s actually extremely difficult to archive the net. Bob checks in with a group of digital archaeologists, people who are recording and presenting the net as it used to be, as far back in...
