Who are we?
We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.
We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

Considering the precedents set in Nazi Germany... same exact things.
Any specific ones in mind that are of great importance or influence?
seconding a focus on sexology; we don't need another Institut für Sexualwissenschaft incident.
off the top of my head:
- The History of Sexuality (Michel Foucault 1976 – 84 + 2018)
- Transgender Warriors (Leslie Feinberg 1998)
- Gender Trouble (Judith Butler 1990)
- Undoing Gender (Judith Butler 2004)
- Caliban and the Witch (Silvia Federici 2004)
- Black on Both Sides (C. Riley Snorton 2017)
- The Stonewall Riots (Marc Stein 2019)
including all the works of Judith Butler and Silvia Federici.
more academically:
- Kinsey Reports; The Kinsey Institute: The First Seventy Years; and any other expansions on the work of the Kinsey Institute
- Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Healthcare: A Clinical Guide to Preventive, Primary, and Specialist Care (Kristen Eckstrand, Jesse M. Ehrenfeld 2016)
you can probably farm the bibilographies on these.
All the instances where the Dems were doing the exact same shit so they can't pretend they are the solution
I would suggest medical texts, survival and military field manuals. I don't think they will be needed but it might be best to be prepared. As for culture, stash what you like.
On second thought, the medical texts would be useful either way. https://www.alreporter.com/2024/10/31/analysis-rural-hospitals-closure-crisis-alabamas-healthcare-safety-net-at-risk/ Hospitals closing have been happening for a while.
I really hope archive.org has a backup of itself somewhere.
I remember reading somewhere that there are copies of bits of archive.org distributed across the globe, but the majority of it is in US data centres. It’s incredibly big, though, so it’s hard to just take a copy of it and move it somewhere else.
I get the sentiment, but in this time and age and with the internet, I think the information most likely to be at risk of being destroyed or censored is the one that is not commonly available, or in the hands of law enforcement.
A fascist government will more likely effectively prevent creation of new dissenting works, than suppressing existing ones.
What the fuck, man
