The Internet is Not Forever

We often think that once something is on the internet, it's there permanently. The truth is, links die (Link Rot), domains expire, and valuable articles are deleted every single day. If you are doing research for a documentary or a video essay, finding a dead link can ruin your script.


The Wayback Machine

The Internet Archive is a non-profit library that takes snapshots of websites over time.

To make accessing this massive database easier, we built the **Archive Viewer Tool**.

  • Enter the URL of the dead website or deleted article.
  • Select a year.
  • Our tool queries the Wayback Machine API to fetch the closest snapshot available.

    • 4. You can read the article and extract the information exactly as it looked years ago.


    It is an invaluable research tool for investigative journalists and YouTube documentary creators.
