Credit goes to [personal profile] ysabetwordsmith for bringing this up! One way to archive that has been a blindspot for me is looking at previous aggregates - link clouds and master posts on various topics. To standardize the language around these, I'll be referring to them as masterposts from here on.

A masterpost is a collection of resources and links categorized by one person or multiple people as a primer on a certain subject. You may have seen these on Reddit or Tumblr (especially for study guides, tips, and college advice on Tumblr, there were lots of these.)
Masterposts can provide valuable insight into what is considered generally important for a given topic, and are a great bouncing off place if you want to start learning about something but aren't sure where to begin!

Some examples of masterposts:

Survival Books, Manuals, and Prepper knowledge, as put together by a prepper blog
500 Free Printable Workbooks and Self Help Guides, as put together by a mental health resource
Github's Awesome section - aggregates on resources for generally tech oriented topics. Primers on coding languages, getting better at any kind of programming or computer oriented task, and a few things related to interviewing can be found here!

Here's a few awesome lists I'd recommend from Github as well:

Awesome Privacy - privacy focused alternatives to everyday apps like fitness trackers, email, and search engines
Awesome Stock Resources - sites for stock photography and video
Awesome Self-Hosted - resources for self-hosting applications on a home server, including maintenance and storage.

Do you have a masterpost that's been helpful for aggregating information? I'd love to see it! ^^
