Hi, I hope this is okay to ask. I'm an American with no experience in archiving, but I've been saving links to posts and videos on Facebook and Instagram that I would like to preserve. My first thought would be to download the contents and put it on some kind of usb or disk but after theyre off the platform I'm not sure how to properly preserve these posts/videos offline or online. So I have two questions.
- What would be the best way for me to get the posts or videos off if Facebook and Instagram into a viewable format.
- Once I have transferred the content, how do I best store it physically and digitally. Are there digital libraries for this sort of thing? I only have a laptop and I would like storage I can transport easily if I choose to travel (plane).
