Datasets:
Looking for Web Crawl Data Prior to 2008
Hi everyone,
First of all, thanks a lot to the HPLT team for the amazing work on the dataset. The scale and multilingual coverage are super valuable, and I really appreciate the effort that went into it.
While checking the dataset, I noticed it uses the Internet Archive’s Wide dataset, which is a great resource for long-term web preservation. I’m currently working on a project about reconstructing and analyzing web content before 2008. The problem is that Common Crawl only goes back to 2008, and wide0 starts in 2010.
I was wondering: does anyone know of other datasets, projects, or archives that have web crawls from before 2008? Or maybe tips on where to look, useful search keywords, papers, or links to related resources?
Any advice would be really helpful — thanks in advance!
