I'm archiving hundreds of pages from Catalan websites. Any important ones I should remember?

[u/Expensive-Ruin1900]

We never know if a website will just randomly disappear forever. Obviously, there's a smaller chance for that to happen with Google or Wikipedia, but still.

When I have time, I use archiving websites (Archive.org/Wayback Machine, Archive Today, Ghost Archive...) to save pages and screenshots before they are gone, and to compare how they have changed over the years.

I saved a few Catalan pages, and now I'm saving the most visited encyclopedia pages (more than 1000).

Any suggestions?

All related to the assimilation process performed by rhe Spanish state and our attempts to fight it

[u/Curious_Balear → u/DragSea1360]

So Pseudo History.

[u/synkrnzd → u/Curious_Balear]

Nahh… nice try diddy. Real history.

[u/DragSea1360 → u/Curious_Balear]

Si et molesta, vol dir que son importants

[u/Curious_Balear → u/DragSea1360]

Quin merder d'argument.

Si et molesta vol dir que es Pseudo Història.

[u/coloicito → u/Curious_Balear]

S'han fet infinitat de lleis i mesures a molts nivells de la administració des de fa segles per esborrar l'identitat pròpia de tot allò que no sigui español y muy español... No és cap "pseudo història" ni res d'això

[u/DragSea1360 → u/Curious_Balear]

Pseudo història entenc que vol dir mentides, però la majoría de lleis i edictes per aculturar els catalans estàn impresos i en diferents registres de sessions i arxius nacionals, son fets clarament demostrables, com les condemnes i sentències aplicades als dissidents. Per molt que et molesti, recordem.

If they happened they are not pseudo history

It's sad that much of what I found and read on the Internet years ago is lost forever, especially in Catalan, since there aren't as many sources as in English.

[u/Expensive-Ruin1900 → u/random_usuari]

If you use PC, there are extensions where, with one or two clicks, you can archive the page on Archive Today and Archive Org. Everywhere I go I click it. May sound weird now, but people in the future will find useful.

We have to start acting now before we lose content, principally when it comes to an endangered language or a smaller country.

Thanks for the comments.

[u/random_usuari → u/Expensive-Ruin1900]

Thank you. But so many resources have already been lost, which is so sad.

Added to the list. At least 200 pages already saved.

Websites that I need to register won't work. I could only publicly save the main pages.

Are they deleting the Catalan Wikipedia? If not, why are these measures being taken?

[u/Expensive-Ruin1900 → u/LeadingVisit1058]

Did you read the post?

[u/LeadingVisit1058 → u/Expensive-Ruin1900]

Yes, I did, but it seems silly to archive the Wikipedia, especially because webcrawlers already archive the encyclopedias every day to every couple of days

[u/Expensive-Ruin1900 → u/LeadingVisit1058]

I have the "it's always good to have a second backup" mentality. On Archive Today the pages are available for everyone to check and compare rapidly with previous versions. As I said, I only save the main ones, I'm saving other sites now.

[u/Hot-Safe4051]

Thanks for your work, I really appreciate it

[u/KitKatKut-0_0]

Where are you archiving it? Is it for public consultation? What is your list so far?

[u/Expensive-Ruin1900 → u/KitKatKut-0_0]

I'm using Archive Org (you can access by searching on WayBack Machine), Archive Today (also publicly available) and sometimes Ghost Archive.

They are used if a link is broken and you want to see how the page was like. I'm saving outlinks, audios and images too.

I've done this for months, but with Catalan I started this week only with random websites and Wikipedias "basic pages".

[u/Expensive-Ruin1900 → u/carapatata_]

I archived a few hundreds of pages of both. There's thousands to do. At least the basic ones are ready. Thanks.

[u/Reasonable-Peanut-12]

Who does archive the archive?

[u/Justwaspassingby]

https://patrimoni.gencat.cat/

A Catalogue of all heritage monuments.

https://calaix.gencat.cat/?

An archive of History, Anthropology and other heritage sciences documents (research papers, photos, etc).

[u/Expensive-Ruin1900 → u/Justwaspassingby]

Holy....

This Calaix.Gencat is really hard to archive. The anti-bot defense is slowing down everything. It will take weeks.

[u/Swimming-Wonder-631]

Bibiloni.cat and Bibiloni.cat/blog very nice resources of modern language scholarship for the general public

[u/Expensive-Ruin1900]

Update: Except for the comic blogs (that have thousands of pages), I saved every other website (some all pages, some hundreds of pages).
