ABSTRACT
Since the late 1990s, many Indonesian writers have published literary works on the internet. Most of these publications are extinct, and a small number are still stored in the digital archive of archive.org. However, there is no guarantee that the stored data will be available perpetually. Most likely, the remaining data will soon become extinct. Then, how could we access the availability of early Indonesian internet literature for research purposes? How could it be archived and accessed? As literature published on the internet grows every day, its early development plays crucial documents in the field. This paper describes a strategy to archive the influential literary web magazine of cybersastra.net during its publication between 2000 and 2005. This research reveals that 19179 archived URLs are stored in archive.org. However, the availability of accessible and readable documents is nearly 60 percent. The highest number of documents is the poem consisting of 8.119 titles. This study argues that the publication of literary works on the internet that is no longer living can still be saved before they are entirely extinct. This rescue can be done with a micro archiving strategy for interests on an individual scale but can provide benefits for further research.
