Hello spiders The archive.org is one of the tools and services under development to fight link rot in (scientific) articles. Link rot is not only about pages and websites that disappear, but also about pages with changed content. You might have learnt by now to recover a lost page by pasting its address on http://archive.org/web/ but it requires some luck.
In case sooner or later you forget or somehow become unable to maintain links on your site, you can improve the luck of your future visitors. Try the above action when you create a link to a valuable page. If the archive does not has a capture yet, a link is presented to save the URL. If the capture is outdated, the lower right form allows you to create a new capture. The techies among us may prefer to prefix the original URL with http://web.archive.org/*/ respective http://web.archive.org/save/ Much more is explained at https://archive.org/about/faqs.php#The_Wayback_Machine and https://blog.archive.org/category/wayback-machine/ Jo - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected].
