Preserve the digital footprint of your contribution to the world
A chapter is closing, but not your legacy: with Sutty Coop’s help, your ideas and contributions can continue to reach the world, and your story can be preserved in the collective memory.
When an organization is winding down their operations, the websites where they’ve been publishing most of their work ends up being out of maintenance, infected by malware, or outright taken down by hosting plans being canceled.
This leads to their important works being lost or only readily available to researchers and archivists through the Wayback Machine. Workers and associates lose references to their publications and contributions to the organization. Links on external websites and publications break, leading to "linkrot". Domain names expire and are appropiated by malicious campaigns or domain landlords1, who try to sell them back to you at a much higher price. In sum, the important work the organization has been doing for so long becomes unreachable to the wider public.
Sutty helps organizations inventory and preserve their websites before they’re lost. Your websites are converted to a format that’s ready for long term hosting and storage, with backup plans for domain names upkeep and transition to others.
We can also help you with the process of winding down. We can refer you to Wind Down, c-host and Naomi Hattaway, with whom we’ve developed this service offering.
