Why's that? We have long had effective institutional preservation of knowledge and historical records by public and university libraries. Why shift to the inefficiency of individual, amateur preservation rather than support skilled professionals to do it right?
Right now, I am having a hard time tracking down a 2002 or 2003 CD-ROM (New_LocClim) that may have contained the weather station data underlying the FAO/GPCC rainfall product. It seems far more likely that a library or other institution, rather than some random person, would have preserved that information in a way I can discover and access.
