@eotarchive.org is in the middle of harvesting the ERIC database. We’ve currently collected 24000 PDF files (going on 500,000+... should be done later today). There’s a full-text keyword collection search at web.archive.org where you can choose to search Eric.ed.gov collection. @archive.org FTW!

As with many supporting orgs they crawl every seeded federal government URL. These crawl efforts contribute to our 700+ terabytes of public WebArchive (WARC) files #EOT2024

🗽 Give us your hidden, your overlooked,

Your orphaned Gov URLs yearning to be preserved,

The forgotten databases of your civic shore.

Send these, the neglected, the soon-to-vanish, to us—

We lift our crawler beside the open web. 🗽
