Ryder Ripps on internet archaeology

From Summer Nights, 10:30 pm on 3 January 2014

Ryder Ripps in 2009 established Internet Archaeology in an attempt to archive and preserve some content from GeoCities upon Yahoo's closure of the site. He explains what treasures of 1990s and early 2000s internet culture he sifted through the sands of the internet for, and why it's important to preserve aspects of what's a very transitory medium, especially as more of our lives and memories make the shift online.
