chiving. As another poster mentioned, some bibliography managers have this capability baked in, or can acquire it with a plugin. However, if you want more control, you might consider using something like `pywb`[1] to make your own web archive, and then host it yourself (e.g., on S3 or something). For more robustness, you could also publish those WARC files as torrents, or on IPFS, or if you're really cool, as part of the transaction messages on some blockchain (provided that you can stomach the transaction fees and don't anticipate having a large audience in China). The above will probably suffice so long as the Internet continues to function as a going concern. To accommodate concerns about what happens in the case of total societal collapse, I've been backing up the papers that I cite by converting to binary[2] and preserving the result via aluminum punchcards, which I then mail to Sam Altman since he's got a way better game plan for the end times than I do[3]. I'm not sure if aluminum is optimal for this purpose though, both for material science reasons and because I've been informed that I am under investigation for my role in some sort of aluminum smuggling ring. If that fails, my last backup plan entails constructing an allegorical representation of the papers in question (which is surprisingly easy-- the Hero's Journey from Joseph Campbell[4]'s exegesis is basically about differential equations anyways), which I will then craft into a compelling mythology and teach to the local youths. Hopefully this will ensure that the citations are preserved via oral tradition even in the wake of cataclysmic change. Figuring out the BibTeX for this archival format will be pretty tricky, though. But yeah, unless you have some extra aluminum lying around, `archivenow` or whatever's built-in to your reference manager should do the trick. --- 0. github.com/oduwsdl/archivenow 1. github.com/webrecorder/pywb 2.
