As part of the transition to the new Web Management System (WMS), we are creating archives of all websites before they are migrated to the new platform.
Why are archives being created?
During the migration process, sites often undergo content revisions and layout changes. To preserve a snapshot of each site prior to migration, we are capturing full archives of all websites in their pre-migration state.
When will your site be archived?
An archive will be created shortly before your site is migrated to the new WMS. To check your site's position in the migration queue, visit the聽聽(涩里番 VPN required).
How to access your site鈥檚 archive
All archives are created using聽Archive-It, a tool that saves web content to the Internet Archive鈥檚 Wayback Machine. These are available in the聽.
To access your archive:
Search for your site聽using the site name in the collection鈥檚 search bar.聽If your site doesn鈥檛 appear, it likely hasn鈥檛 been archived yet.
Click the archived URL聽for your site.
Select the latest capture date聽(indicated by a blue circle).
Click the timestamp聽to view the archived version of your site.
Requesting an archive for your site
Even if your site isn鈥檛 currently scheduled for migration, it鈥檚 a good idea to create a backup before making significant changes.
To request an archive, fill out the聽聽and indicate in the聽"Question"聽field that you'd like an archive created for your site.
