University of North Texas is now accepting seed nominations for post-EOT crawls: digital2.library.unt.edu/nomination/G... Crawls from this seed list will not be a part of the #EOT2024 #EOTArchive

We are wrapping up seed list nominations for #EOT2024. Going forward, you can submit government URL nominations using a similar tool: digital2.library.unt.edu/nomination/G... Crawls of post-EOT seeds won’t be part of the #EOTArchive, but will appear in the @archive.org Wayback Machine

@archive.org is an #EOTArchive team member, that has been archiving the public web since 1996. 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
