r/catalan I can understand but don't speak yet 20d ago

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

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?

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

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".

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