I added https://archivesunleashed.org/ to our DB List on google. Think its okay to stay ? Seems like a really cool project :D!

The project is really interesting they have a toolkit for archive-it. Archive-it is a site that aims to save the "cultural heritage" of the internet. Its connected to archive.org basically ;)! So, archivesunleashed is not directly a database but its a toolbox for the advance usage of archive-it. Basically for the usage of the toolbox you need an archive-it account.

Took a while to find out how :D:

However, you need an Archive-It account. You can get this if you are an Archive-It subscriber, or if you connect with a librarian responsible for a collection they can generate you a guest account.

Here is a small FAQ. The subscription costs money. Therefore i cannot really access data.

However the archivesunleashed project organizes datathons, the next one is in March 26/27 in NY. Maybe we should keep an eye on the next event :).
