Hello,
I have clicked on each link on the current About/History page and found the following issues. I put the line numbers of the history.md file for reference:

• line 37: ARLIS/NA’s Multimedia & Technology Reviews returns a 404. I think I have found the article though https://works.hcommons.org/records/xf3nn-fej08

• line 65: A major release returns a 404. Maybe remove it since the repository no longer exists? Or maybe it should link to Ramon Tapales repo https://github.com/rtapales/quire-starter-theme

• line 81: Open Publishing Fest is completely dead. I would suggest to change it to either their gitlab page or the Coko Foundation announcement of it.

• line 91: newsletter points to a blank page , idk if it is intentional. This is also the same link used in the footer.

The link to the article An Editor's View of Digital Publishing mentioned in your post is not broken, but that you probably already know...

This was wildly helpful @SilvestriStefano. Thank you so much for taking the time to catalogue all of this! I had some updates to make to the website anyway, so I incorporated your feedback and added you as a co-author on commit 9707cb9.

Just a note that the newsletter link and the Getty Iris article are working fine for me. Thank you again for these excellent and detailed contributions!

Yes the Iris article was working fine for me as well, that's why I said it is not broken 😸 . You are right the newsletter link is working, the AdBlocker Ultimate extension on my browser was blocking the content.

Glad I could help. I really enjoy what you all have created. Hopefully I could contribute more in the future.
