One very important note on the immense value of the Internet Archive that I haven't seen mentioned yet:

It crawls major newspapers like the New York Times multiple times per day.

For anything other than one of those scrolling updates breaking news pages, you can access it from the Archive usually within an hour or two of it being published. No paywall. You want international news? You got it. Opinion? That too. Recipes? It's all here. Page not yet archived? There's a button for that and now you got it.

There are various paywall-evading extensions and tricks out there, but they don't always work. This does.

Go forth and read the newspaper.

As someone who has relied heavily on the Internet Archive for research for not only this blog but also professional uses, I urge people to show their support to archive and openlibrary. Make sure if you have an account there, change all of your passwords!! Be safe out there!

"Publishers accused the nonprofit of infringing copyrights in 127 books from authors like Malcolm Gladwell, C.S. Lewis, Toni Morrison, J.D. Salinger and Elie Wiesel, by making the books freely available through its Free Digital Library.

The archive, which hosts more than 3.2 million copies of copyrighted books on its website, contended that the library was transformative because it made lending more convenient and served the public interest by promoting "access to knowledge.""

Internet Archive and 'The Wayback Machine' are Experiencing an Existential, Legal Threat.

Below is a link to a petition whose goal it is to save one of the most effective tools against digital censorship available to the public.

"At a time when digital information is being deleted, rewritten, and erased, preservation is more important than ever."

Signing this petition is FREE and takes less than 5 minutes.

Recently, user @we-are-astronomer was able to utilize Internet Archive's Wayback Machine to locate and preserve government articles DELETED from the NASA website by Trump Administration censors. For more information, their post can be found underneath the break.

If resources such as these are destroyed, we risk losing every digital article and file deleted under the Trump Administration's censorship. Without a method for restoring erased information, censorship proceeds unhindered. No body, no crime.

Collective action gets results. Do your part to protect public peace of mind.

If there is a page on a US government site that you think has good information, now is the time to save it in the WayBack Machine and save a PDF of it.

Many government webpages on inclusive language or anything remotely related to DEI have been taken down. But it is likely going to get worse. His attack on the health care system and scientifically proven facts mean that soon we may not be able to trust the information on the CDC or CMS websites, or other government health sites.

Here is a link to the WayBack Machine, an internet archive that stores previous versions of webpages:

And here's info on how to Print to PDF:

Recently I found out about Homestar.wiki, a good alternative to Internet Archive's Wayback Machine for when the wiki is down. There's some problems with images loading (the image below shows up) but it can easily be fixed by clicking on it and clicking it again when the preview comes up large. Plus, the search and random buttons work on here, so I might start using that
