Harris Khan2017 was an exciting and busy year for news and archival services. Cloudflare launched its library program, Archive-It partnered with the Internet Archive, the National Archives and Records Administration introduced its pilot for a web archive repository, and Europeana launched its Data for Research service to release web archive dumps as API services. Archive.org celebrated its 20th birthday. To say the least, the future looks bright.
But what about the future? What will the 2020s bring? This post is intended to showcase 23 archiving service startups to watch in 2021. It is by no means an exhaustive list of startups in this space.
