Finding digital archives using the Wayback Machine

With the Wayback Machine, researchers can browse through over 150 billion web pages archived from 1996 to a few months ago. To start using the Wayback Machine, type in the URL address of a website (such as http://www.cica.ca/) or webpage and press “enter”. Then select from the archived dates available. The resulting webpages point to other archived pages at as close a date as possible. Keyword searching is not currently supported.
