A transparent look at the modern infrastructure, legacy-compatible engines, and archival protocols that power our preservation pipeline.
Distributed crawlers optimized for legacy HTTP/1.0, frame-based layouts, and outdated TLS certificates.
W3C WARC standard compliance with redundant object storage and content-addressable hashing.
Headless environments emulating Netscape Navigator 3.0, IE4, and early DOM parsers for accurate preview.
Full-text search across archived HTML, EXIF data extraction, and semantic tagging for historical context.
Automated W3C validation, malware sanitization, and cryptographic timestamping for audit trails.
Containerized microservices with auto-scaling, CI/CD pipelines, and real-time crawl monitoring.
Seed URLs are validated, deduplicated, and prioritized based on age, rarity, and cultural significance.
Crawlers adapt to deprecated protocols, handle framesets, and render inline CSS/JS from the 90s era.
Content is stripped of active exploits, normalized, and bundled into immutable WARC archives with cryptographic hashes.
Metadata is extracted, full-text is indexed, and previews are generated for researcher access via our API.
