Darfur Website - Reconstructed Lazy Preservation | Home

On Oct 23, 2006, I was alerted by Gina Jones at the Library of Congress that the website www.survivorsunited.com was "lost". This was one of several websites that the LOC has placed in their Darfur Collection.

The site is entitled "Survivors United to Save the Women of Darfur" and has information about the Darfur conflict. The Yahoo directory states that the website is for an "Organization formed to help women who were victims of rape or sexual assault in the Darfur conflict. Site provides news, timeline, collection of related documents, and calls to action."

I do not know the website owners, nor do I know why the website was pulled. Possibly the site is being re-hosted elsewhere.

I have reconstructed the website using Warrick and made it available here:

www.survivorsunited.com - ZIP (5 MB) or TAR (5 MB)

I used the -c switch which essentially recovers all content stored in Internet Archive, Google, MSN, and Yahoo.

I used the -v switch to convert all URLs in the recovered pages to relative ones so the site could be browsed locally. Also .html was appended to the file names so they would open by default into the browser.

According to the recon logs, there were 559 total resource recovered for www.survivorsunited.com (1625 missing): 405 from Google, 102 from Yahoo, 52 from IA, and 0 from MSN.
