Archived webpages

Extent:
11.18 Gigabytes
Scope and content:

The materials in this subseries contain offensive and harmful language and/or imagery including racist and violent references and imagery. The purpose of this note is to give users the opportunity to decide whether they need or want to view these materials, or at least, to mentally or emotionally prepare themselves to view the materials.

This subseries includes two separate collections of archived webpages. One collection was captured using Archive-It web crawling tools and is accessible via Archive-It.org. The second collection was captured using Webrecorder and is accessible via ReplayWeb.page. Web content are based on user preferences and interests, and are thus adaptive, dynamic, and quickly changing. This can lead researchers to a number of challenges in viewing archived websites, including necessitating the use of multiple tools and a variety of search strategies.

Archive-It can be difficult to navigate. Captured websites are not arranged or displayed in any particular order, and sub-pages from the same broader site may not be presented together. Not all pages within a site may have been captured. After clicking on the desired link from the list of websites, the webpages as they were archived can viewed by clicking on the hyperlinked date-of-capture above the calendar. Clicking the url hyperlink will navigate out of the Archive-It website to the live webpage if it still exists. The easiest way to find sites of interest is likely to use the search bar to search for topics/keywords.

Materials accessible on Replayweb.page must be viewed using the Google Chrome web browser. ReplayWeb.page can be difficult to navigate. Captured websites are not arranged or displayed in any particular order, and sub-pages from the same broader site may not be presented together. Not all pages within a site may have been captured. If a page was not captured you will be given the option to load the live version of the page, meaning the version of the page that is currently available online. It is important to note that loading the live page will cause you to leave the collection within Replay Web.page. The easiest way to find sites of interest is likely to use the search bar to search for topics/keywords. In order for the search functionality to work correctly, scroll to the very bottom of the list of urls before searching.
