Welcome to the Tennis Ark project, a Video Art Archive database with a high focus on tracking currently active Video Tennis channels

Modern archival is still quite lacking, with dozens of channels not archived.

Along side that, many archives have fallen out of date - the archivist never truly sleeps

Tips and TricksRelevant LinksShorthand notes
12
I strongly advise archiving in more places in addition to Archive.org - copyright and the future longevity of that platform is risky.

If you cannot upload publicly, atleast attempt to share your files around on a temp site. Redundancy is key!
YTP & MV Archive/Directory Masterlist (Kneesocks's version)XLArchive has thousands of videos - greater than 20gb
13
音MAD/YTPMV ArchiveNRNot relevant - channel or archive has many non-tennis videos uploaded (i.e gaming, livestreams, etc)
14
tennis meta-rosterOBObscure - user has videos that are hard to find for the public, but still exist (i.e, offsite or unlisted)
15
TENNIS DOMESDAY LISTSMSmall archive, only a handful of videos.
16
Stacher and 4K Video Downloader offer "subscriptions" which automatically downloads channels. If you use YT-DLP, consider this command to download metadata and descriptionsYTP Archive/Directory/RxK Master ListUser categories
17
IVInactive Veteran - users who are inactive but are well documented. unlikely to upload, thus less of a priority

INInternational - similar to Russian YTP, but for other fragmented communities
