Subject: Sites gone and not archived
Dear all,
Thinking about digital archives has made me wonder about examples of websites which are no longer online and whose content has not been picked up by the Internet Archive (for example if the content was behind a pay wall).
An example is (was) the Kenyan grey literature site kwetu.net.
Accounts of any other examples gratefully received (I will collate for those interested).
best wishes
