Finding and using web archives
The material in the University of Minnesota web archives document and preserve valuable online resources that complement existing collections and services in the University Digital Conservancy and the University of Minnesota Archives. Web archive collections include selected websites for academic programs and administrative offices, such as University colleges, departments, and centers; organizations and associations; committees; campus-related activities; and historically significant events. Captures of websites are ongoing unless the website ceases updating or has been moved to a new web address.
Learn more about the sites we crawl in our Collection Guide or browse in Archive-It.
