Why It Matters

Once these documents are gone, they may never be restored. If you rely on historical, legal, or intelligence-related materials, you must act now.

What You Can Do—A Checklist for Preservation

  • Find & Download: Identify key documents you need and save them locally. Preferably in multiple formats (PDF, TXT, HTML).
  • Use Reliable Archives: Don’t just bookmark—archive pages using services like WebRecorder, Archive.org, or perma.cc.
  • Verify Integrity: Hash important files using SHA-256 to confirm they remain unaltered over time.
  • Distribute Copies: Share backups via decentralized platforms like IPFS or peer-to-peer networks.
  • Print Essentials: If a document is critical, print it—paper still outlasts digital censorship.
  • Monitor & Report: If you notice missing files, document it. Share changes publicly to raise awareness.

Act Now

Don’t assume public access will last forever. If a document is important to history, governance, or accountability, take steps to secure it today.
