Introducing Archive Pages
Today, in memory of Aaron Swartz, I’m introducing Archive Pages, a little tool to let you host websites for your archives on the Internet Archive.
Internet Archive is wonderful institution. It more-or-less provides infinite storage and infinite bandwidth for public data forever for free.
However, it is hard to host a website on the Internet Archive. What if you have a nice website for an archive that you’ve hosted on the Archive? What if you want to restore a lost website from the Wayback Machine? Woundn’t it be nice to host the website also on the Internet Archive along with your archives?
With Archive Pages, you can now add a file archive-pages.zip
to your archive.org item with all contents of the website and the website will be live at itemid.onarchive.org
.
Think of it as Github Pages for the Internet Archive.
Sounds interesting?
