Our preservation pipeline combines automated crawling, cryptographic verification, and emulation-ready packaging to ensure digital artifacts survive format decay and hardware obsolescence.
URLs are sourced from community submissions, historical indexes, and autonomous crawlers. Each target is deduplicated and prioritized by rarity and cultural value.
We render pages using period-accurate browsers (Netscape, IE3, Mosaic) alongside modern engines. All assets, scripts, and frames are extracted and cataloged.
Every file generates a SHA-256 fingerprint. Checksums are logged to our distributed ledger, creating an immutable proof of existence and integrity.
Archives are packaged in WARC-GB and Memento formats, stored across geographically distributed cold storage, and prepared for sandboxed browser emulation.
We don't just save files; we preserve context, metadata, and rendering environments. Our workflows align with international digital preservation frameworks to guarantee long-term accessibility.
