GOLDVOLTRON ARCHIVE · HISTORICAL WEB RECORD
The Old Web
This is the surviving web history I have for DJ Gutter and Sewer Labs: direct captures where they exist, original graphics I recovered, and the period references that help fill in the gaps.
If I have a real capture, I show it as a real capture. If I only have the original graphics, I show those by themselves. If I do not know what a page looked like, I leave it unknown instead of rebuilding it from memory.
DIRECT CAPTURES + ORIGINAL ASSET
djgutter.com
djgutter.com has the most surviving material right now. I have three pieces that can be tied to dates between April 2001 and May 2002.
