Archivists are racing to preserve Google+ before it shuts down next month.
In a poston Reddit, the Archive Teamannounced its mission to preserve and backup Google+ content to the Internet Archive. Google will commence the shutdown of its failedsocial network project on April 2.
According to the archivists, only public Google+ posts will be saved. Private posts and posts that have previously been deleted will not be archived. If a Google+ user does not want their content archived, the team behind the project recommends putting in a request to remove specific pageswith the Internet Archive.

The Archive Team says that all comments on a page may not be archived because Google+ only displays a subset of a post’s comments as static HTML.
Multimedia, such as images and videos, specifically high definition content, will not be preserved at full resolution.
Google announced the end of Google+ in the wake of twoseparate security breacheslast year related to the company’s failed social experiment. The platform never really took off — and certainly was no competition for Facebook. Former Google employees who worked on the project have since sharedtheir first person accounts of how Google+ was seemingly destined to fail.
