Who are we?

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

Archive Team has just begun the distributed archiving of the Japanese SS Blog, a blog hosting service, which is set to be discontinued on March 31, 2025.

And you can help! There isn't much time left, so as many people running the warrior as possible is needed.

Resources:

  • The wiki page of the project (not much info)
  • The tracker (at the top of the page) has the simplest info on how you can help out
  • The github page offers a docker-based alternative for advanced users, and more info on best practices for this sort of archiving

Why help out?

The web is disappearing all the time, and often a lot of previously easily accessible information is lost to time. These japanese blogs may not be very important to you, but they certainly are to a lot of people, and nobody knows what sort of information is found only here, until they need it.
