We have put together a script that goes through all pages in this Web site and makes local copies of all URLs cited (even external). It sorts them locally with levels (deep directory structure), proper URLs, full paths, etc. so that they are easy to locate. They will most probably be stored on an external hard-drive (this gets large in size over time) and a
crontab
will handle this cyclically. This ought to help preservation in case articles on other domains are removed some time in the future. Many thanks to some readers who made this suggestion.
The Web Archive is not enough to rely on, so at least one copy should be available although it's not publicly available (could put it on
~/public_html
, but that would probably infringe on copyrights).
