Navigating Misinformation and Disinformation

The Internet Archive is a nonprofit digital library that archives web pages. To use its Wayback Machine, enter the URL of the site you are looking for. It will search for that address and display the page, if it is available.

This site first harvested Federal Government web pages in 2008 at the end of the Bush administration and continues to ensure government information is accessible to the public.

You can add to the Internet Archive by copying and pasting the URL of the web page you would like to save.

Developed by the Harvard Law School Library, Perma.cc archives web pages and makes them easily retrievable. SJSU has a institutional license for Perma.cc. To be added, send your request to ann.agee@sjsu.edu.
