Jason Scott here. Most of the comments don't need me, but I did want to address this. I've been ingesting tapes daily by the hundreds for the past week, and it's natural that the collection skews towards the new, since I can get those at arm's reach, singly, with little (relative) effort. I've still got a way to go with the 17,000 tapes I have information on (again, pretty much all post-2000) and then I will either find older sources, or will be contacted by people with caches of older sources. So, I'd say, "give it time", and remind the people who are not happy that Internet Archive is a library/archive and can only move as fast as it can. But it does move.
