We would like to make sure that the content available from the site remains available in perpetuity. One of the best resources for this kind of thing (in my opinion) is archive.org, the "Internet Archive" aka "The Wayback Machine".

I have been puzzling over what would be the best way to compare the list of voluntaryist.com URLs already in the Wayback machine (available at https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://voluntaryist.com/*) to the URLs actually provided by the site to make sure none are missing. A few problems arise:

  1. The Internet Archive uses four different (but equivalent) forms of the base URL, http://www.voluntaryist.com, http://voluntaryist.com, http//www.voluntaryist.com:80, and http//voluntaryist.com:80.
  2. There are pages and posts on the site which can be exhaustively listed from the WordPress dashboard, but there are still also some legacy pages (like the PDFs available under the backissues folder and the online version of Carl's "Toward a Proprietary Theory of Justice", among others).

Anyway, if you want to make sure a URL from the site is archived, you can enter it into the search box at https://web.archive.org/ and if it isn't in there, it will offer you a link to save it. Please do so! It won't show up for another five or ten minutes.
