[Rockhounds] old internet archives

Grant,

Mark Liccini was the gentleman, and his website was one of the best
resources anywhere for treating gemstones and minerals. After he died
unexpectedly his website was allowed to expire by his heirs and
disappeared a couple months later. 

Archive.org had captured Mark's website and it was available for several
years. Last time I checked most of it had been expired due to lack of
access.

Books preserve knowledge for hundreds of years. The problem of
preserving digital knowledge has not been solved. We are already losing
the current generation's advances in knowledge due to digital
publishing.
