Overview

Digital Vault is a community driven effort to preserve the integrity of the web. By focusing on link rot and digital decay, we create a resilient, open infrastructure for research, art, and knowledge sharing. This project aims to keep references, artifacts, and creative work accessible long into the future, even as the landscape of the internet evolves. Your support helps us build reliable hosting, continuous monitoring, and transparent governance that underpins a trustworthy archive for everyone.

The mission is precise and practical: guard essential links, provide timely updates when a reference shifts, and empower a global community to contribute with care and accountability. With steady funding, we can expand the reach of the archive, improve accessibility, and sustain the systems that make preservation possible.

Why Your Support Matters

When you contribute, you invest in a foundation that prioritizes clarity, longevity, and collaboration. The impact of your generosity extends beyond a single project; it strengthens how we learn, create, and build on reliable, navigable digital resources.

  • Preserve critical references and research across disciplines for future learners
  • Maintain long term hosting, redundancy, and automated link checks to reduce drift
  • Increase multilingual accessibility and discoverability for diverse audiences
  • Encourage open governance and transparent reporting to the community

  • Development of stable hosting environments with redundancy
  • Regular data integrity checks and automated link verification
  • Public reporting, audits, and open metrics to maintain accountability
  • Multilingual expansion and accessibility enhancements
