Atheism in America

Archived since: Feb, 2019
Description: This collection was created in 2019 to document contemporary ideas about atheism in America, including how atheists represent themselves, how they are described elsewhere, and common issues that merit their attention. The project aims to preserve documentation of a "religious" movement that by its very nature lacks established institutions of worship to collect and archive their goals and voices. The goal is to more diversely represent the American public, and to preserve records of atheism for future historical researchers. Selection will include popular blogs, materials from prominent atheist organizations, and individual informational or opinion articles on the topic.

Crochet and Knitting Blogs

Archived since: Apr, 2025
Description: Traditionally, crochet and knitting patterns were shared verbally and visually, with designs copied from the original works. The earliest printed crochet patterns were published in 1824. The first printed knitting patterns were also published mid-19th century, as the craft become a popular hobby. By the 20th century, magazines and books were the main method of dissemination for patterns. Today, patterns and techniques are shared primarily online—through communities on Ravelry and Reddit as well as independent blogs. Many artists and makers use blogs to post their work, share tips, share their free pattern designs, and sell pattern designs. The way crochet and knitting techniques and patterns have been shared has evolved over the centuries, and the way patterns are shared today have as much archival value as printed patterns from the 19th and 20th centuries. Thus, this collection seeks to archive free patterns posted on independent crochet and knitting blogs. This collection is intended to be used by those with an interest in fiber arts, either as creators or historians and researchers. The collection can be used to find discover new patterns and techniques as well as examine how people share patterns as a cultural and historical record, for these sites show how artists and hobbyists in the 21st century have engaged in fiber arts and created communities online.

Darke County Public Libraries

Archived since: Mar, 2026
Description: This collection preserves the digital presence of public libraries in Darke County, Ohio. This body of work captures the information provided on their websites, catalogs, and digital outreach platforms. The libraries represented are Arcanum, Greenville, New Madison, Bradford, and Worch Memorial. All of these libraries predominantly serve rural communities and function as a central community gathering hub. Their digital presence showcases a wide range of services, a few examples of this being youth programming, local history, technology access, community partnerships, and public events. These records hold the websites of the institutions themselves, along with a few YouTube videos. These videos highlight how libraries work to extend their reach. Storytime videos, tutorial videos, and program highlights demonstrate the importance of engaging with patrons online, especially for caregivers, families, and patrons who cannot always attend. Including online catalogs from Bibliocommons, local systems, and COOL documents library holdings, catalog systems, and regional collaboration networks. Preserving these materials provides long-term access to documentation of how public libraries adapt to technological change, sustain local cultural memory, and maintain community connections. Because of the frequent update nature of the websites, the historical versions are not preserved. Therefore, events, newsletters, or programming are susceptible to loss of institutional memory or content drift. This collection gives researchers, community members, and future librarians a clear record of how rural information systems, public service models, and the library's role in community life have changed over time.

Deltarune "Spamton Sweepstakes" Collection

Archived since: Mar, 2026
Description: Deltarune is an indie game developed by artist Toby Fox following the success of his previous game Undertale. The game is being released on a chapter-by-chapter basis, with chapters 1-4 currently available. On September 18, 2022, Toby Fox partnered with entertainer Wayneradiotv, merchandiser Fangamer, and charity Child’s Play, to present an interactive special called the “Spamton Sweepstakes”. The event was highlighted by a fundraising livestream, while also creating a 90s-early 2000s inspired ARG (alternate reality game). An ARG is essentially a web project consisting of puzzles and multimedia storytelling, in this case portrayed through the game’s website. The user follows the story through different links, codes added to URLs, and puzzles, creating a unique experience according to the individual user. Some ARGs use time sensitive elements, however this project is possible to capture for users to repeat the process or experience it for the first time. The Deltarune “Spamton Sweepstakes” Collection consists of 37 seeds, including the original event’s page, community discussions, the original livestream, inspirations, and secret pages. This collection is intended to preserve the experience as it ties into the game’s storyline, as well as serve as inspiration for other multimedia projects. Much of the “Spamton Sweepstakes” relies on video, audio, and animations to give insights into the later game, as well as overall lore. Therefore, it is important to preserve all the individual elements and their hosts. Furthermore, it is possible these elements may update again or deteriorate, so it will be necessary to maintain this collection with periodical crawling. Currently, the project is considered finished, so monthly or fewer crawling is recommended.

Eco-friendly Death Care Options

Archived since: Mar, 2026
Description: *Content Warning* The information in this collection is centered around death. Given the nature of this collection, if you are not currently in a place to receive that type of information, I'd encourage you to come back at a later time to view this material.* This collection presents the current landscape of alternative death care, specifically covering eco-friendly options such as green burial methods and alkaline hydrolysis. Webpages related to discussion and opinion, news coverage, legal issues, financial and environmental costs, and educational resources about environmentally friendly after-death options, inside or outside of the United States, will be considered in scope.

Fishing Social Media

Archived since: Dec, 2022
Description: This collection was created to view the relationship between social media and fishing. Fishing is typically a solitary sport along the small waterways in the United States, but there is something about it that makes people happy, and that is understandable. Many believe that the relationship between fishing and social media is detrimental as it allows multiple people to be exposed to fishing locations that would, earlier in time, been visited by families or friends of families that knew about the locations. The collection will focus on that, but it will also place a heavy focus on the visual enjoyment of people catching fish in these spots that are deemed local. This collection could be used by anyone looking for access to new fishing spots or anyone looking to study the sport of fishing.

GRRM Web Presence Collection

Archived since: Apr, 2025
Description: The GRRM Web Presence Collection centers on the digital presence and public-facing internet activity of George R.R. Martin, with a particular focus on how he has used the web to communicate directly with fans, provide updates on his work, and shape his public identity. This archive explores Martin not just as an author, but as a digital figure who has maintained a remarkably consistent and public presence online for nearly two decades. Through blog posts, official statements, and online-affiliated projects, the collection captures the ways Martin has used the internet to build community, manage public expectations, and navigate the increasingly blurred lines between author, celebrity, and cultural commentator. This collection emphasizes the significance of preserving born-digital materials authored or authorized by Martin himself, particularly as they reflect the evolving nature of authorship in the 21st century. It also highlights the broader digital ecosystem surrounding his work (from longtime collaborators and fan communities to real-world projects that maintain a strong online presence). Together, these elements provide a rich and layered view of how digital tools have shaped both Martin’s literary career and his relationship with the public that should be captured and maintained for the historical record.
