Maybe it is time for a standardized process or a dedicated NGO (or GO) that can handle the rights issues surrounding archival, a place to send & process harddrives, etc. ?
- sp332 15y agoI think the US Library of Congress would be a good GO to start with. And the Internet Archive is a good international NGO. Both organizations are already working on this kind of thing, e.g. the LoC is archiving all of Twitter in real-time. Trouble is, even the IA respects robots.txt, so when the ArchiveTeam starts archiving a website, they start by downloading the files listed in robots.txt because they are probably not backed up anywhere else.
