Archiving is an important concept. You want to archive everything you can for future generations. Archiving is an important concept that has been in existence since the time of the ancients.

4chan Archives

Currently, the only archiver servicing /g/ - Technology is DesuArchive, located at https://desuarchive.org/g/.

Their records go back as far as February 8th, 2010, with full images being available from mid-2012 and onward.

Archives for other boards include: DesuArchive, Archived.Moe and Archive of Sins (NSFW boards including /t/).
