Contact for when WayBack internet archival fails to grab content
Posted by jpluimers on 2021/06/07
For my link archive, some tweets. [WayBack] Mark Graham is the person to contact in case archiving a link in the WayBack machine fails.
- [WayBack] Marcin Krzyzanowski on Twitter: “🥰🤩👏 Screenshot a whole web page + annotate with pencil + save as PDF in Files. This is an entirely new level of me reading blog posts and making notes.”
- [WayBack] Jeroen Pluimers on Twitter: “What tool makes the screenshot? Many web pages render very badly while printing (to pdf or paper), fail to archive in @internetarchive or archive.is (though the last 2 combined with saving the original and archived link in my blog queue is always my first try).”
- [WayBack] Mark Graham on Twitter: “Might you please share a URL you are not able to archive to the Wayback Machine?… “
These are the steps for my link archival:
- check if it saves and renders with the WayBack machine, if so, copy the saved URL and the original URL
- check if it saves and renders with archive.is, if so, copy the saved URL and the original URL
- if neither saved, then use the original URL and link text, but note it was unsavable; otherwise prepend the original URL and link text with [WayBack] or [Archive.is] containing the saved URL
