Real-world projects showcasing our mission to recover, restore, and preserve the fragile digital heritage of the early internet.
Recovering a fragmented virtual community hub hosted on decommissioned AOL dial-up servers with corrupted directory structures.
Deployed protocol-emulation crawlers and reconstructed missing assets using mirrored Wayback snapshots and user-submitted backups.
Preserving early e-commerce platforms before dot-com bankruptcies erased server records and SSL certificates expired.
Implemented deep-link traversal with session emulation, capturing cart flows, product catalogs, and proprietary checkout logic.
Mapping and preserving decentralized WebRing networks that relied on broken cross-domain navigation and outdated JavaScript.
Built a graph-database index of ring nodes, simulated legacy JS execution environments, and restored interactive guestbooks.
Archiving pre-social media news aggregators that used proprietary XML formats and dynamically generated frame layouts.
Developed format translators to convert legacy feed structures, preserving headlines, timestamps, and embedded multimedia links.
Preserving departmental research sites hosted on university sunOS servers with legacy CGI scripts and database connections.
Containerized the original server environments, emulated Perl/CGI execution, and mirrored static content to modern storage.
Recovering thousands of personal homepages before host shutdowns, dealing with missing image hosts and broken relative paths.
Created a path-resolution engine that traced original hosting structures, replaced missing assets with period-accurate placeholders.
Whether it's a defunct domain, a legacy web application, or a personal digital time capsule, our archival engineers can help you recover it.
