WEBVTT 00:00.800 --> 00:04.160 In this video we're going to take a look at archive today. 00:04.520 --> 00:06.000 It can be found at archive.org. 00:07.240 --> 00:12.480 Now archiving websites is incredibly important for preservation. 00:12.680 --> 00:19.320 Things like if we find websites that are, say, malicious websites, suspicious websites, or even 00:19.320 --> 00:25.920 things like, uh, someone posted something on X or Facebook, Instagram, whatever, we see it. 00:26.920 --> 00:33.480 Chances are they could take it down if it's something incriminating, or they could alter it, and then 00:33.480 --> 00:34.440 we lose that evidence. 00:34.480 --> 00:39.120 Of course, we could take screenshots, which is, uh, always a good idea. 00:39.440 --> 00:43.400 And archiving the pages is also going to be incredibly important. 00:43.560 --> 00:52.320 Now, I do love using Internet Archive, and this is another site that will archive websites. 00:52.320 --> 00:55.240 So I do love redundancy. 00:55.240 --> 01:04.160 So archive and you can put down that you know, a URL that you want to save, and you can click save 01:04.160 --> 01:05.840 and it'll take a snapshot of it. 01:07.200 --> 01:13.640 Likewise, we could take something like yahoo.com down in this other section here. 01:14.360 --> 01:17.080 And I want to search the archive for save snapshots. 01:17.120 --> 01:18.080 Click on search. 01:18.440 --> 01:23.800 And it works basically the same way as Internet Archive except the format's a little bit different. 01:23.880 --> 01:31.480 So in here you can see it's broken up Yahoo mail, weather search, politics, finance, etc. and it 01:31.520 --> 01:34.040 kind of breaks out all these different pages here. 01:35.200 --> 01:42.080 And it tells you it has 664 URLs showing one of 20 and shows you the oldest to the newest. 01:42.080 --> 01:47.040 And we can see the oldest is from October 17th, 1996. 01:47.040 --> 01:50.720 I can click on that and we can take a look at that. 01:51.440 --> 02:00.710 And up here we can see save from web.archive.org redirect from that page v ww W2. 02:00.750 --> 02:03.510 Yahoo.com original yahoo.com. 02:05.030 --> 02:06.350 And we can see the page. 02:06.350 --> 02:11.350 And we could try clicking in there and see if these pages actually still load up anything. 02:11.590 --> 02:15.230 And it pulls up the other archive pages which is again really useful. 02:17.510 --> 02:21.830 And we can always let's go back here. 02:22.350 --> 02:24.030 And again you can do all this. 02:24.030 --> 02:26.390 You can do newest I can I can go down in here. 02:26.390 --> 02:28.430 I can see all the different redirects in here. 02:28.710 --> 02:32.790 So again really useful archive page. 02:32.790 --> 02:42.070 And again if you're if you have something that that you find online always a great idea to, to archive 02:42.070 --> 02:47.070 it uh internet archive or archive or both. 02:47.350 --> 02:49.110 Again I like redundancy. 02:49.430 --> 02:53.990 If there's something particularly important, I may put it on both services to make sure that it stays 02:53.990 --> 02:54.830 preserved. 02:56.030 --> 02:57.670 So great tool. 02:57.870 --> 02:59.830 Definitely worth taking a look at. 02:59.830 --> 03:00.790 Thanks for watching.
