Current web archiving initiatives are curated by state-affiliated organisations with selection bias against low culture. Digital preservation is a losing battle - what gains are made by archiving collectives are quickly closed up by technocapitalist policy. Additionally, preservation web crawling at scale is unable to capture the complex and dynamic web technologies that low media is often hosted on - this content is gated, transient and amorphously located. A two-birds-one-stone approach could be to encourage the individual amateur creation of personal archives, utilising open source preservation tools. Targeted amateur web archivists can scrape corners of the internet large crawls can’t reach - or get around technological limitations with bespoke/guerilla archiving methods, preserving small-sample collections to garner a more representative historical record of internet topology. Like keeping pages of diaries instead of trying for the whole library.
