Importing Legacy Badges

[jkruithof]

Hi there! I'm an experienced badger (working in the field in the pre-Badgr days) and have quite a few badges from groups that no longer exist. I was wondering if there was a way to display these badges - despite them not having an URL that resolves. It would be ideal to have these as some sort of acknowledgement, or some other way to actually display them.  I have the badges, and did the time, so to speak, and that doesn't change despite the issuer disappearing (thanks Mozilla).

I've included an example of the error I get (in this case the issuer cannot be verified because the URL doesn't exist).

Thoughts for workarounds or is this a feature on the roadmap (that I've missed in searching through the community and anything public)?

Hi jkruithof,

While I'm not sure if it will work for you, you can take a look at the process for importing badges into a Backpack. You can see how to do so here, but outside of that method I'm not sure there would be a way to upload them, or if it will work with exceptionally old badges (i'm unfortunately unfamiliar with the pre-Badgr days). 

Hope this helps!
