It includes copies of the core index pages, embedded images (when still available) as well as individual blog entries, including comments. Pages for applied "labels" were not scraped to reduce file size, though they are currently available on the live web version. While the page has been archived by the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine, this scrape is intended to independently preserve the site, as well as to provide the site as a possible corpus for textual analysis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Due to the file size (506 MB, .7z archive or .warc.gz), the scrape is available by request - simply email admin AT queerdigital.com.

Her blog &lt;em&gt;TransGriot&lt;/em&gt; focused on trans issues, particularly African-American and other trans women of color. She was especially noted for her coverage of trans homicide victims in the United States, which brought national attention to these cases. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Included below are links to other information on Roberts:&#13;
