SHKO (Save Hong Kong Online) is a community project to preserve those disappearing online web sites since 2019 and in a wake of the vast disappearing of civil society and independent media. It's anonymous and open source, with the support from a lot of online users.
Goals
- To preserve as much information as possible before its disappearance during Hong Kong's great transition
- To illustrate a viable method that everyone can use to help preserve online heritage with no pains
- To demonstrate global collaborations to save local digital heritages with best practices
Quick Facts
We are working on over dozens of websites or online causes in Hong Kong in the past two decades which has been forced to shutdown or at the brink of disappearing. We'd welcome anyone help contribute to the content and/or sponsor our program to sustain it together.
Examples:
- Apple Daily|蘋果日報 (Extincted)
- Inmediahk|獨立媒體 (In Danger)
