The Geocities Project

Upon the news of the closing of Geocities by Yahoo, Archive Team initiated the Geocities Project, a coordinated effort to rescue as much of Geocities' data off of the to-be-decomissioned Geocities servers. This project was begun in April of 2009, and continued throughout the summer of 2009 up to the closing date of October 26, 2009 by Yahoo. A list of Frequently Asked Questions about this project was generated and is available Here.

Parallel to our efforts (and in conjunction with them) archive.org began a major "deep crawl" of Geocities to add to their wayback machine. The page for their project is here.
