The Memory Hole [rescuing knowledge, freeing information]
March, 2005 and it’s time once again to celebrate the blog of the month! The memory hole is an important site that collects, among other items, government documents that have been leaked, pulled from govt web servers, or otherwise in danger of disappearing (or never appearing at all!). Here’s a particularly interesting post: Government Documents Pulled Out of Public Circulation.
Read on, download to local servers, catalog, go back and visit the memory hole often!!
The Memory Hole exists to preserve and spread material that is in danger of being lost, is hard to find, or is not widely known. This includes:
¥ Government files
¥ Corporate memos

¥ Reports (governmental and non-governmental)
¥ Maps, patents, Web pages
