Web Archives @Michigan State University

Beginning in January 2011, MSU initiated a partnership with the Internet Archive's Archive-It program to collect and preserve the University's web pages of historical value produced by administrative offices, schools, departments, service units, institutes, centers, programs, and faculty, student and alumni organizations. Access to these archives is provided by the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine technology. Our Web Site Collection Plan (PDF)^* documents the methodology for selecting and preserving MSU sites.

Access to the collections of MSU websites is:

• 1998-2006 (UAHC crawls)      Available only at the UAHC
• 1997 – 2009                         
• 2011 ->      (These may be searched directly using the search box to the right or by the Archive-It interface.)
