Can I see who forked a now-closed public repo?

I'm using a Dart package based on a public github repo that has recently been closed. In looking at the google cache of the page I can see it was forked 58 times before going off to the great git reset --hard in the sky: screen capture

Does anyone know how I can find who forked it, so that I can possibly access a recent copy of the source code?

Deleting a public repository When you delete a public repository, one of the existing public forks is chosen to be the new parent repository. All other repositories are forked off of this new parent and subsequent pull requests go to this new parent.

hope this helps you find it.
