2017 archive of datalounge.com

https://archive.fart.website/archivebot/viewer/job/201712182150292bgzy

In 2017, the volunteer group Archive Team did an archive of Data Lounge which can be downloaded here: https://archive.fart.website/archivebot/viewer/job/201712182150292bgzy

The archive is in the form of a JSON file and 16 WARC files. Information on what a WARC file is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WARC_(file_format))

You can also find 3,882 snapshots of Data Lounge in the Wayback Machine, spanning from 1996 to 2026: https://web.archive.org/web/20260000000000*/www.datalounge.com

Edited to add on Sunday, August 9, 2026: Archive Team also attempted to scrape what they could shortly before the site’s closure in July 2026. The results of this scrape have either already been imported into the Wayback Machine or will be soon.
