These crawls are part of an effort to archive pages as they are created and archive the pages that they refer to. That way, as the pages that are referenced are changed or taken from the web, a link to the version that was live when the page was written will be preserved.
Then the Internet Archive hopes that references to these archived pages will be put in place of a link that would be otherwise be broken, or a companion link to allow people to see what was originally intended by a page's authors.
The goal is to
fix all broken links on the web

Crawls of supported "No More 404" sites.
This is a collection of web page captures from links added to, or changed on, Wikipedia pages. The idea is to bring a reliability to Wikipedia outlinks so that if the pages referenced by Wikipedia articles are changed, or go away, a reader can permanently find what was originally referred to.
This is part of the Internet Archive's attempt to
rid the web of broken links

The BGSA is an international, interdisciplinary, and informal
group of academics and field researchers devoted to the history and development of board games
throughout the world. Its members meet and communicate regularly with one another, but
there is no formal membership structure or subscription or central address.
This unofficial BGSA page is part of the website of David Parlett, one of the associates

The Association holds research seminars every year, usually in April, meeting each time
in a different country. They are occasions on which scholars, academics, curators, and
others involved in games research in the international community share thoughts and findings on
various aspects of board games and their study.
Participants include archaeologists, anthropologists, historians, psychologists, educationalists,
authors, game inventors, collectors, and representatives of games publishers and manufacturers.
Papers arising out of the colloquia are published in its journal "Board Game Studies".
These events began as Board Games in Academia, following a preliminary gathering in 1990 in England
hosted by Dr Irving Finkel, curator of the British Museum's Department of Western Asiatic Antiquities.
