Add mirror(s) for OpenLibrary bulk data dumps

Open tfmorris opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

Proposal

The OpenLibrary data is a public resource which represents decades of investment by many volunteers and must be preserved. Data dumps are currently only archived on archive.org which is housed in a single physical data center with no redundancy, backup, or disaster recovery.

Please establish one or more reliable mirrors with the normal disaster resilience diversity in geography, power source, network connection, organizational administration, etc for this data to assure its preservation.
