[Sca-cooks] Wayback Machine, was Sixteenth Century Turkish

[Johnna Holloway]

Part of this problem with broken urls is caused by the loss of  
Geocities and their website hosting.

There's this "GeoCities Project and Friends" which explains who has  
captured and is archiving Geocities.
"Upon the announcement of the closing of GeoCities, an attempt was  
made to rescue as much data from GeoCities' destruction as possible.  
The page with details about the project is here. The project's  
harvesting phase was from April-October 2009, and involved several  
dozen people and hundreds of machine instances. To various degrees of  
quality, a very large amount of GeoCities information was mirrored.   
There have been other parallel projects also mirroring GeoCities  
besides Archive Team. These include Archive.Org, Reocities, Oocities,  
geocities.ws, and Internet Archaeology. All groups appear to have  
gotten different amounts of the GeoCities collection, and most are now  
sharing data to track down gaps and share copies."
