# wrote off to internet archive about setting up an art archive email: info at archive.org title: request for individual artist art-archiving dear internet archive greetings from the uk i'm an internet philosopher and conceptual net artist seeking to use archive.org as the main site for archiving my free (in as libre+cost) art projects. would this be possible? **+** my main site - https://publish.obsidian.md/republicofbob **+** my current site for hosting art projects - https://robert-what.itch.io/ my reasons for asking your help and advice: recent censorial policy changes by itch.io are disagreeable to me as someone interested in the arts community and the philosophy of archive.org has long been in line with my own regarding historical archiving public education and the arts in general. (as a data hoarder i've also a keen interest in digital archaeology and deep diving for bits of cultural gold) i'm not even sure if you're the right people to ask as i couldn't find much online about archive.org in the specific context of helping single artists and artistic archiving. i've read about 'archive-it' and 'collaborative art archive' - but as a single unknown artist i neither belong to or are currently affiliated with any art organization or library. also being working class and poor i don't have any money available to pay for long term archiving access most of my art projects take the forms of remixes and carefully curated data sets of image and video and often weigh in at over 1gb (a recent virtual photography exhibit is 8.4gb) i hope you can help! internet archive does brilliant work befitting countless people and it would be an honor to be associated with your excellent organization sincerely robert what update: they replied.. but it was just a form letter repeating instructions already on ir main site about creating an account uploading files and making sure they're properly labelled - in short very little use common internet archive do better when it comes to individual artists // republic of bob
