Show Notes
This week we have two researchers to talk about web archiving, its politics, its goals, and how web archiving is often mobilized to address problems it really can’t help. We’re talking Tumblr and GeoCities, Twitter’s feared implosion, Internet Archive, and the space to mourn our platforms and communities.
