Dead Sites Archive
There are a number of smaller websites run by enthusiasts that are at risk of being lost as the internet ages. The non-profit Web Archive is the best resource to quickly find web content that's no longer available online. However, one cannot guarantee that all content has been crawled or that a particular website has been crawled at all.
Inspired by Archive Team, I decided to archive some of the more important/valuable ones myself using grab-site. I will not share them unless the site has been taken offline, and will respect any verified requests to remove content for copyright reasons. These sites are presented here for personal and reference use only.
How to Use
You can first try using the Web Archive link provided to browse for the content you're looking for. It doesn't require downloading any large files.
If a WARC link is available, you can browse the archive that I have made. Download the site you are looking for from the list below. You have two options to view these files:
- Download the latest replayweb executable for your operating system and open the file in there (recommended)
- Open in https://replayweb.page/ (slower)
