My view is that the archive is something that will increase the long term survivability of the PBS web material. If something is useful people will preserve it.
Looking at what we have got so far, you might think it is quite modest. In fact it has taken some effort and we have relied on others for most of it.
People can copy our material, AI can pass it off. But we can also copy material. The winner is who has the biggest server, and that is not us. We might have the best organisation of the data though.
Aside from building an edifice that will last a thousand years, just being a source of stuff drives people to your website.
Any ideas for things that are difficult to access on the web, or that you have to go to the wayback machine (internet archive) for, which could be added to the archive?
I appreciate that what I have said above is not how the internet works. People Google, today's results are different to yesterday's, no one notices.
