"Hard drive from junk shop found to be from an old facebook server"

I do wonder how digital archiving will work in the future. Hopefully something better than "the archive.org volunteers decided to archive it"

You tell archive.org how often to archive a URL. So its not really up to their volunteers but the general population.

There's a really bad problem with archive.org - that they retroactively apply robots.txt files. Simple:

    User-Agent: *
    Disallow: /
And poof, here goes history. Guess how many companies care?

What are the odds that archive.org will be around in 137 years?

The best bet would be the Library of Congress.
