Archive directory
Each site keeps its own identity and independent archive. Figures here come from service data.
Each site keeps its own name, design and domain.
We preserve the historic link structure wherever possible.
Articles are read in full inside each archive.
Independent archive
A site that selected Islamic articles and material from writers, magazines and other sites, and published them with their sources in sections for articles, sermons, research and books.
Preservation method
We document what was restored and what could not be reached, and link to each archive’s source.
We document surviving links and copies available in the archive.
We assess available copies and record selection reasons and coverage limits.
We preserve historical text as published and withhold full text until permission or a legal basis is established.
Each restored site keeps its identity, structure and links on its own domain.
Preservation data
Each figure describes a different stage. Missing values are not replaced with estimates.
Participation

We receive no institutional funding. A small volunteer team pays out of pocket for restoration, storage and review. Your support and donations help us continue preserving these websites and keeping them free to read.
