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.

The September 17th archive of the oldest public video on ashens' channel is saved with the comments section of a completely different video.

(only loads on desktop for me)

Not sure how this happened, usually it's no comments section at all.

If I were trying to make a point here: an archive doesn't even have to be malicious to contain misleading information presented as fact.

There is no IA community, so I thought you all might be interested.

Kind of wish there was an IA community. I would join that.
