journalists, I am BEGGING you to interview archivists from places other than the Internet Archive. The IA is cool, we all love it, but the perspective of IA is not representative, they are really an outlier in the #archives world.
++ The IA is just one institution doing #webarchiving among many.
The NDSA has tracked web archiving activities since 2011 and is a great place to find more #archivist experts on this topic.
Some great folks are named here: https://www.ndsa.org/2026/06/03/it's-here-the-2026-ndsa-web-archiving-survey.html

We got educational Claude accounts at $work, so I succumbed and spent better part of a day working on this #webarchiving thing I've had in the back of my mind for a while:
https://github.com/edsu/rustyweb
It is a Rust service that will index the contents of WACZs and make them available via the web like Wayback. Embedded search with tantivy, can index PDFs as well as HTML, and can index remotely accessible WACZ files too.
