Have you ever wondered what happens to your data when a platform dies? Have
you ever tried to find an old account? Have you ever deleted your website
and regretted it?In this workshop, participants will go on an archive
promenade to search for their own forgotten or abandoned websites from the
past 30 years in the Internet Archive Wayback Machine, following the
process outlined in the EARLY INTERNET MEMORIES zine

).

For academics, an archive promenade is a participatory approach to web
archival research that is committed to producing a history of online
community with members of that community, for example, by gathering,
curating, and annotating archival material and data collaboratively. This
method can be used in research contexts, but also by individuals looking to
explore their own internet histories, as it grapples with the politics of
data afterlives and contends with the ways that data is entangled through
affect, materiality and situatedness.
