@iamjessklein I love these & am happy to speak about them from a broad generalist perspective w/ experience, history (incl. pre-digital), & anecdotal evidence. @phonedude_mln likely has some academic research here.
A useful example from @doctorow https:/
For scholarly pubs, the recent "The Past Web" edited by @dcgomes77 @jfwinters & Demidova is a trove of info:

Made access to historical versions/edits too easy! Believe it or not.

yeah, that's it. there was a small but vocal group that wanted to keep prior versions hard to access, bc they're old/outdated/obsolete: in the evolution to the perfect page, why go backwards?!
I don't know how to reach those people.

Wow, after reading Cory’s blog on how he’s been blogging for 20+ years, I really appreciate your daily Plura List and TWTR posts even more than I thought possible.
Thank you for everything you do.
