Web archiving lets practitioners preserve copies of web pages so they can be accessed long after it has changed.
Web archives aren’t just static snapshots. Web crawling software (crawlers) capture copies of all of the files that make up a webpage, preserving the look and feel, as well as much of the functionality of the site. Using a web archive player like the Wayback Machine, users and researchers can navigate and interact with the archived website the same way they would have used the live site.
