Hello Hoarders,

My relative recently passed away, and he was a lifelong data hoarder. He started collecting media sometime in his 40s and continued until he passed away at the age of 76. Over the years, he built up a 17TB library of shows, videos, and random clips. There is the mainstream stuff, but a large portion of it is very niche or obscure.

He had a unique taste and a habit of grabbing things that most people wouldn’t think to save. There’s a mix of older TV content, random YouTube videos, lesser-known documentaries, and some hard-to-find stuff you just don’t see circulating anymore. While a lot of it might not appeal to the general public, I don’t feel right just deleting it, as it feels like erasing something he really cared about and spent a lot of time building.

So I’m reaching out to see if there is anyone who would be interested in helping preserve or archive it. I don’t have the resources or background to properly sort through and backup it all, but I would love to find someone who does. (For what it’s worth, the content is quite well organized already, but my main goal is to make sure it lives on)

Let me know if you’re interested or have ideas for how to approach this.

Thanks.
