/// ARCHIVAL GUIDELINES

Era Requirement

We primarily archive content originally published between 1990–1999. If your site was modernized, please provide the original source or specify the historical period.

Content Integrity

Submissions must not contain malicious scripts, active malware, or illegal content. We focus on historical, cultural, and technological preservation.

File Formats

HTML, HTM, MHT, ZIP archives, and static image/GIF assets are accepted. Dynamic sites require server snapshots or emulator configurations.

Ownership & Rights

You must own the content or have explicit permission from the original author. We do not archive active copyrighted material without authorization.

TIP: Found a dead link? Use the Wayback Machine or archive.today to retrieve the source before submitting. We can reconstruct broken MIME types and missing assets.

How Preservation Works

Submit & Validate

Our system verifies the URL, checks historical metadata, and flags any compatibility issues for manual review.

Crawl & Capture

Specialized headless browsers render the page using Netscape 4.0 and IE 5.0 engines. Assets are extracted and normalized.

Archive & Index

Content is cryptographically hashed, stored in our distributed network, and added to the public searchable index within 72 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the archival process take?

Most submissions are processed within 48–72 hours. Complex sites with frames, applets, or missing resources may require up to 7 days for manual reconstruction.

Can I submit multiple sites at once?

Yes. Please submit each URL individually to ensure accurate metadata tagging. For bulk collections (10+ sites), contact our research team for a dedicated intake pipeline.

What if the original site is offline?

Upload your local HTML files, browser cache exports, or MHT files directly through our bulk upload portal. Our archivists will verify authenticity and reconstruct the environment.

Is my submission publicly visible?

Yes, preserved content becomes part of the public historical archive. If you require private/restricted access for academic or institutional use, please specify during submission.
