The organization’s site had gone offline, and its history only survived in web archives. We recovered more than a thousand archived files, put the history back together with sources cited, and launched a new 38-page site with an identity built around the organization’s five rank-cord colours.
A / The problem
- Domain expired and the site offline, so the content was effectively lost.
- Two decades of history scattered across old domains and partial archive captures.
- An unfinished replacement site made of template placeholders.
B / What we did
- Recovered 1,147 archived files from the Wayback Machine across 2002–2018.
- Cross-checked every historical claim and tagged its source.
- New identity mark based on the five rank-cord colours, plus interactive grade explorer and artifact catalogue.
- 38-page site with full keyboard accessibility, tested in a real Workers runtime, and launched on the original domain.
