== Projects ==

** [http://tanasinn.info/wiki/Complete_History_of_4chan Tanasinn.info - Complete History of 4chan] - A community built timeline of 4chan, passed down from wiki to wiki after the fall of Wikichan. Updated weekly by the community whenever an event of interest occurs.

== Projects on the Archive Team Wiki ==

* [[4chan]] - We made this impressive listing of all 4chan Archivers known to exist, in the past and present.

== Saved Websites ==

Information on the internet is infamously volatile. In just a few seconds, sites could be there today and gone tomorrow. To prevent another Wikichan from happening, the Bibliotheca Anonoma saves down websites to be researched in their extant state.

* [https://archive.org/details/fybertech Fybertech 4thread] - Fybertech has one of the largest collections of 2008-2014 4chan threads, outside of the fallen Chanarchive and the modern 4archive. This is a contingency backup of all 9GBs of threads (up to 2015-02-16) to the Internet Archive.
* [https://archive.org/details/studionyami-com_penfifteen-2012-03-05 Penfifteen Archive] - In 2013, Vyrd discovered that some anon (whose native language is Finnish) had this curious, undocumented public archive of very, very early handarchived threads from 4chan (along with many other period-appropriate .swfs, videos, and images), spanning all the way from 2004-2008. 
* [http://bibanon.org/everything-shii-knows/ Everything Shii Knows] - Shii is an important primary source for the early days of 4chan and anonymous textboards.

=== Wikiteam ===

We generate dumps of important wikis for later analysis.

* [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]] - Text dumps are uploaded to the Internet Archive on a biannual basis. Image dumps are pretty difficult to do, but we'll try to do them yearly (and only for newest images? somehow)
* [[Puella Magi]] - (Archiving since March 2012)
* [[Insurgency Wiki]] - (Archived December 2011) A massive database of information made by Anonymous, especially the /i/nsurgency in the days after /b/-day from 2006-2009. It was never saved very well, and as of 2012 seems to be in an unusable state.

=== Saved Collections ===

* [https://archive.org/details/4chan-threads-2009-2012 4GBs of 4chan Threads 2009-2012] - Assorted webpages from 4chan, saved between late 2009 and early 2012. Many of these are from Chanarchive, /b/ or other boards not archived by the Fuuka Archivers, so they are extremely rare and valuable.
* [https://archive.org/details/InformationLibraryAll.7z Information Library v2.0+2.1] - 
The Information Library is a gigantic collection of informative images from 4chan created by an anon called InformantB900. It composes 2,206 images containing guides, strange facts, and cool tips, organized in 180 folders. 
* [https://archive.org/details/instaoldfagkit.7z Insta-Oldfag Kit]/Anti-Newfag Kit - 
The Insta-Oldfag Kit is a collection of various OP image thread starters or reaction images, in convenient folders, as well as a few thread screencaps. It was uploaded to the Internet Archive by the Bibliotheca Anonoma.
* [https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki/Moot-Video-Archive Moot Video Archive] - A collection of every talk or panel that Moot up to 2011. The torrent died recently, and we're scraping together what we can.
* [https://github.com/bibanon/Neglected-Mario-Characters/wiki Neglected Mario Characters] - One of the first sprite comics to appear on the web in the 1990s. Died after an ugly spat of infighting.
