As far as I can tell, the Wayback Machine only has some of the pages but did not capture nearly the whole site. I wasn't aware of it before, but Sarah-Jane seems to be suggesting that you can pay them a fee to preserve the whole site, but this is news to me if it's true.

Sorry to hear this, Kate! And Roger, good work doing the site copy.

Indeed, this thread has just been brought to my attention, with the suggestion to make the archive available here at the Eratosphere! That should be no problem. So, Roger, can you send the data to me, say via Google Drive or or such?

Cheers,
...Alex

Alex, I've put it in my Dropbox and sent you a sharing link.

You still might find it easier to download the program and then download the site on your own. It just takes a minute to install, and then you just enter the top URL for the site and the program does the rest very quickly and easily.

Thanks, Roger--in that case, I'll go with installing the program and site download. Cheers--Alex

Hi Roger,

Just to clarify as even though the information is no longer needed here, it might come in handy in a different context.

You can save individual pages in Wayback for free & there's a chrome extension to support multiple page-saving, but obviously, this site would be too large to do this 'by hand' page by page.

They have a pay-for archive feature that automatically crawls and backs up websites. I have no direct experience of this, I'd just heard about the service. Info about both here.

That is so brilliant that the journal will be saved - and I hope I get the chance to read some more of the back issues.

Hi, Bernadette, Roger, and everyone--

It's done!
Go here
OR you may also click the 'archived e-zines' menu item at the top menu of most Eratosphere pages.

Cheers,
...Alex

That's great, Alex. I'm so glad Umbrella/Bumbershoot will continue to be with us.

Kate Benedict 08-04-2021 02:26 PM

I'm flabbergasted! This is wonderful, Alex, and thank you Roger for helping. I will spread the news.

Technologically challenged as usual, I'm opening on the final issue and don't see a way back to the start of this wonderful journal. Help?

Okay, I got it: go to "archive" at the bottom of the page.

Hey, I'm back with my ugly mug beside one of my favorite poems. Super! Thanks, you people.
