SavePageNow is the new feature of Arquivo.pt

Arquivo.pt, a research infrastructure that allows users to search and access web pages archived since 1996, has launched a new service— SavePageNow. This feature allows anyone to save a web page to be preserved by Arquivo.pt. To do so, simply enter the address of a web page and browse its contents.

Arquivo.pt's SavePageNow was inspired bythe Internet Archive Save Page Nowand implemented using thepywb webrecorder. Since its launch in January 2022, 573 unique users have already helped to record 3,080 web pages that will be preserved by Arquivo.pt.

This service is also a way to involve the community at large in the process of archiving web pages, encouraging everyone to contribute so that important information published on the Internet is not lost.

Arquivo.pt is a public service, free of charge and freely accessible to all web users. Every day, millions of pages are published on the web, but 80% of this information disappears one year after publication and becomes inaccessible. Arquivo.pt aims to counteract this trend and enable the search and retrieval of information from old websites.
