Some inspiration for writing a proper bookmarklet that finds or saves a WayBack machine page:
- Bookmarklets – What’s New [cannot WayBack nor Google Cache]
- Way Back Machine/Internet Web Archive Bookmarklet Thing [WayBack]
- Archiving Bookmarklets [WayBack]
- Just one click away from Wayback Machine’s archives of current page (Request JavaScript codes for bookmarklet) | Firefox Support Forum | Mozilla Support [WayBack]
- javascript – Posting to Wayback Machine Via Bookmarklet – Stack Overflow [WayBack]
- How to save a web page to the Internet Archive [WayBack]
- How to get the Wayback machine to instantly archive updates to your web page | Why We Protest | Anonymous Activism Forum [WayBack]
On the last link, I was hoping that the https://web.archive.org/liveweb/https://www.example.org would work but it doesn’t work for many URLs and I’m not sure yet why that is.
It has a nice tip that works though:
Another useful tip: To see the raw copy of the page without the archive.org overlay, insert im_ into the URL, so for example:
http://web.archive.org/web/20130626030834/http://vorb.is/
becomes
http://web.archive.org/web/20130626030834im_/http://vorb.is/
