The Gopher protocol is a "SmolNet" TCP/IP Application layer protocol designed for distributing, searching, and retrieving documents over the Internet. There's currently no standardized way to store archives of Gopher servers as WARC files. OpenNIC has a .gopher TLD intended for sites that only serve content over Gopher. Gopher+ is a backward-compatible extension that attempts to provide more information, so an archival effort should try to preserve all it can.
