h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Hi Giford. We have been notified by a casual reader of the Guide that one of the links in your Entry A47424369 'Vanished Alexandria' is broken: http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/GreekScience/Students/Ellen/Museum.html

The writer suggested an alternative link: http://www.onlineclasses.org/2012/12/14/lessons-at-a-glance-the-library-of-alexandria/

However, I notice that your original source is still available via archive.org: http://web.archive.org/web/19990117081550/http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/GreekScience/Students/Ellen/Museum.html

Would you:
a) like to use the archive.org link to the original source
b) replace it with our informant's suggested link
c) provide a new alternative link

While looking at this Entry I also noticed that the link http://www.authenticwonders.com/Alexandria/History/guide.html is broken as well.

Please let us know what your preference is. Thanks.

Hi h5ringer,

Sorry I've only just seen this. I have no strong opinion either way - both links are good, though the archived version looks more comprehensive, if the fact that it is archived is not a problem. Perhaps both could be added?
