A bit funny to have a paper on arxiv.org investigating archive.org (and europarchive.org and archive-it.org and so on).

It does not investigate archive.org (although it did use it to track changes in the archives that were studied).

I will pay for or sponsor any project that reports on the existence of archive efforts, historical and current and planned.

The existence of Archive.Org has led me to conclude that everyone has assumed that the problem is solved. We all know - here - how far that is from any consistent definition of reality.

If your are serious I'm down to do something like this.
