Looks like a cool software from a usability viewpoint, and that machine learning recipe import is probably actually quite useful for archiving other people's recipes.
But for long-term archiving, I think just a bunch of Markdown files + images are a better choice.
To still get a searchable webpage, personally I'd use mdBook.
IDK if this is what you're after, but looks like theNY Historical Society started putting old recipes online.
Also, the New York Times has a cooking site with all their recipes they've ever published or received. Apparently, it's vast. Though, it looks like you gotta pay for it.
Were these helpful?
If you use something like 13 ft ladder the NYT cooking pages are no longer pay walled.
That's perfect! Great find!
Just to clarify, are you talking about preserving stuff that was already on the Internet, or are you talking about like paper cookbooks and other digital materials? Because for Internet materials archive.org backs up the entire web, including all the recipes.
Uhโฆ what? The Internet Archive archives web pages, and cooking recipes are on web pages.
Not all recipes are online though, I'm guessing OP meant something like r/old_recipies just without the Reddit part
Don't know about recipes in English. But in Germany https://chefkoch.de is popular. Popular memes are people completely mislabeling the difficulty of a recipe and the comments either showing how to make it much better or people complaining that it sucked after changing everything in the recipe.
has a large archive of recipes, all freely licenced under Creative Commons CC-BY.
Contains traditional and modern recipes.
Additional info:
There is a collected recipe book available here:

(well there will be, once the Internet Archive is back up and fully running.)
The Foodista site has many trackers, recommended to use NoScript/Privacy Badger addons to view.
Not exactly what you are looking for, and not only cooking, but the Townsends channels has a bunch of old recipes and how to cook them.
Paprika is amazing and 100% worth it. I have had it for years and has cloud sync for all platforms.
Basically it scans the page for all the info and makes your own recipe book with it.
