Disappearing Information

Digital information is easy to make public and equally easy to erase. The sites on this page archive web pages for future generations. You'll also find tools that allow you to archive pages you think should be saved.

How to Find Lost News

• Internet Archive: Wayback Machine
  The Internet Archive is a nonprofit digital library that archives web pages. To use its Wayback Machine, enter the URL of the site you are looking for. It will search for that address and display the page, if it is available.
• The Memory Hole
  The Memory Hole saves important documents from being taken offline and digitizes information that previously was only available in print.
• Data Refuge
  DataRefuge archives federal data and supports climate and environmental research and advocacy.
