The Vintage Atlantis Web

John Bruno Hare (1955–2010) · 1999–present

The single most important vintage home of Atlantis source texts. Software engineer John Bruno Hare opened it on 9 March 1999, hand-scanning 1,000+ public-domain books. Its /atl/ section hosts Donnelly, Blavatsky, Scott-Elliot and the rest of the 19th-century Atlantis canon in full. By 2006 it served up to 2 million visits a day.

Project Gutenberg (founded 1971, Michael S. Hart) · 1971–present

The oldest digital library on Earth hosts the full text of Donnelly’s 1882 Atlantis: The Antediluvian World — the book that launched the modern myth — as free, clean, public-domain e-text.

Daniel C. Stevenson / MIT · 1994–present

A staple of the early academic web (online since 1994), hosting the Jowett translations of Plato’s Timaeus and Critias — the only ancient source for Atlantis — free to read.

Gregory Crane / Tufts University · 1987 (CD) / 1995 (web)–present

The scholarly gold standard: Plato’s Greek with the Bury translation and linguistic apparatus. Began as a 1980s hypertext project, moved to the web in 1995 — letting anyone check the Atlantis passages against the original Greek.

Tony O’Connell (b. 1943, Dublin) · c. 2010–present

The most exhaustive catalogue of Atlantis theories ever assembled — an A-to-Z encyclopedia built over fifteen years, cataloguing the location preferences of ~500 commentators. Also published as a 544-page book (2010). Indispensable as a map of the claims, best read critically.

Roland Horn & Bernhard Beier · 2010–present

The German-language counterpart to Atlantipedia (launched 1 Oct 2010), a deep wiki-style portal of Atlantis scholarship. The two sites formally share material — a rare cooperative node in the Atlantis web.

Jason Colavito · c. 2003–present

The essential skeptical counterweight: a meticulous historian of pseudoarchaeology who has digitized and annotated the primary documents of the Atlantis-and-aliens tradition — and exposed hoaxes like the "Eumalos on Atlantis" fabrication.

Andrew Collins · c. 1996–present

The personal site of the author of Gateway to Atlantis (2000), preserving classic late-1990s "researcher homepage" web design — rainbow divider GIFs and all — alongside his Cuba and Atlantis articles.

Graham Hancock · c. 2000–present

One of the longest-running alternative-history message boards, attached to the best-selling author’s site. Its "Mysteries" and "History" boards hosted years of Atlantis debate and a monthly "Author of the Month" series — a living fossil of forum-era web culture.

J. Douglas Kenyon · 1994–2019

The flagship print-and-web magazine of "alternative" archaeology, published by J. Douglas Kenyon for almost a quarter-century. Its website and forums were a hub of the Atlantis-and-lost-civilisations scene before it wound down in 2019.

⌖ Best browsed via the Wayback Machine; the storefront partially persists.

Founded by Edgar Cayce, 1931 · 1931 (org) / 1990s (web)–present

The Virginia Beach institution that preserves Edgar Cayce’s psychic readings — including the famous prophecy that Atlantis would rise near Bimini "in 1968 or 1969." The organizational root of much 20th-century Atlantis belief, online since the early web.

GeoCities 1994–2009; mirrored by OoCities / Internet Archive · 1994–2009 (preserved)

The lost continent of the personal web. Of GeoCities’ 38 million pages — countless amateur Atlantis shrines among them — the Internet Archive and mirrors like OoCities and ReoCities salvaged what they could before Yahoo pulled the plug in October 2009.

⌖ Individual Atlantis fan-pages survive scattered across OoCities and the Wayback Machine.

Brewster Kahle / Internet Archive (founded 1996) · 1996–present

The reason any of this still exists. The Wayback Machine is where dead Atlantis sites — defunct GeoCities pages, the old Cuban government MEGA pages, lapsed forums — can still be read. The backbone of all digital Atlantis archaeology.
