Here we look at how we might archive our digital heritage, starting with pragmatic baby steps, but leading towards the vision of the Permanent Web and the Way Back Machine.
# Project Alexandria
An open-source distributed library for sharing and preserving art, history and culture. Imagine a platform like Youtube, Soundcloud, or Netflix - without any of the costly server or bandwidth overhead.
Only the publisher has the power to remove her/his content from the library - blocktech.com 
This allows users to earn money by storing and distributing content for publishers. Users access content through a library of meta-data stored in the Florincoin blockchain, which can be accessed through custom front-ends or a web gateway.
Devon Read, Head of Project Management at Alexandria said: “Our approach is to give artists a direct relationship with their audiences by putting them in complete control of how much their content costs, what front ends they wish to use, and even whether they’d like to offer a promoters cut to those that help share their art.”
# EGranary Digital Library
An eGranary Digital Library caches educational resources via a local area network in order to reduce connectivity costs in Internet-scarce areas. Most eGranary subscribers do not have an Internet connection, but those who do can open resources up to 5,000 times faster from the eGranary Digital Library - wikipedia
The eGranary Digital Library contains an off-line collection of approximately 30 million educational resources from more than 2,500 Web sites and hundreds of CD-ROMs and fits on a 4TB hard drive.
The eGranary Digital Library contains a built-in proxy server and search engine similar to the Internet, at a speed that is otherwise not usually available to them. The proxy server allows users' Web requests to "play-through" to the Internet if a connection is available.
The eGranary's interface includes a word search powered by Lucene and Solr, an online public access catalog powered by VuFind which contains over 60,000 records, and dozens of portals cooperatively developed with experts from around the world.
# Outernet
Outernet's goal is to provide free access to content from the web through geostationary and Low Earth Orbit satellites, made available effectively to all parts of the world - wikipedia
Outernet Inc is a global broadcast data startup currently being incubated by the Media Development Investment Fund (MDIF), a United States-based impact investment fund and non-profit organization established in 1995 by Saša Vučinić and Stuart Auerbach - outernet.is
Another way to access the transmissions sent by Outernet is to build a receiver, which requires certain components, including a Raspberry Pi, satellite dish, LNB(Low Noise Block), and USB satellite tuner. When set up, the satellite dish receives the information broadcast by Outernet, which then is sent to the Raspberry Pi through the USB satellite tuner.
The data received is stored on the Raspberry Pi, which then can be accessed when a Wi-Fi dongle is connected to the Raspberry Pi and setup correctly. Currently, this method only works with specific components when dealing with the USB satellite tuner and USB Wi-Fi dongles.
# VuFind
VuFind, (not to be confused with Vufind.com a computer vision and interest graph API company), is an open source library search engine that allows users to search and browse beyond the resources of a traditional OPAC. Developed by Villanova University, version 1.0 was released in July 2010 after two years in beta - wikipedia
VuFind operates with a simple, Google-like interface and offers flexible keyword searching. While most commonly used for searching catalog records, VuFind can be extended to search other library resources including but not limited to: locally cached journals, digital library items, and institutional repository and bibliography. The software is also modular and highly configurable, allowing implementers to choose system components to best fit their needs.
As of March 2012, a total of 64 institutions are running live instances of Vufind including the Georgia Tech Library, the London School of Economics, the National Library of Ireland, Yale University, and the DC Public Library.
# Libramatic
Libramatic is a cloud-based library management service provider based in Dublin, Ireland
Libramatic allows librarians to catalog library inventory by scanning an ISBN using a smartphone's camera or by using a USB barcode scanner on a personal computer - wikipedia
