thanks for pulling these posts together in a single page!
this one link can replace 7 or 8 that i’ve squirreled away and then have to retrieve when helping someone get up to speed on the magic that happens “behind the curtain” at the Archive.

Where are, in the new site, the files.DJVU?
If an item has DjVu files you can find them by clicking the “SHOW ALL” link in the “DOWNLOAD OPTIONS” area

Can you explain to me how an Ontario, Canada document on a human rights trail which is not public can be posted onto this site? The posting of this private information has caused employment issue for me and I wish to have this document removed from your system. In addition I wish to know how such a document could possible be posted to an American System when the subjects involved are Canadians. The web address is below where this document is located. https://archive.org/stream/boi94_018/boi94_018_djvu.txt
I have searched your site to determine the proper process to have this document removed but I have been unsuccessful. I would be therefore be grateful for additional information regarding this before I expand further with the Ontario Human Rights Tribunial as to how this document was released and then ended up on your server.
please write to info@archive.org
Please check my email in the contact you provided. Thanks.
Absolutely Dorina. Vigilance should be our watch word in the digital age. Imagine 24.5million online fraud last year alone, which is frightening. We should not be caught up at all. Many thanks for visiting our site.s All the best to you always.
