EternalArchive/Acquisition

The Acquisition department of EternalArchive is responsible for actually obtaining the cultural content, drawing from the lists that the Discovery Department has made.

Once the content is obtained, it is pushed to the Archival Department for archival on LTO tape or the Internet Archive (if public domain).

However, we don’t want to turn into the next TPB.)
• Download Sites
• Streaming Sites - Some streaming sites are great sources of data, especially if they’re all you can eat.
