SavePageNow is the new feature of Arquivo.pt

Arquivo.pt, the research infrastructure that has allowed people to search and access web pages archived since 1996, has launched a new service - SavePageNow. This is a function that allows anyone to save a web page to be preserved by Arquivo.pt. All you have to do is enter the address of a web page and browse through the contents.

Arquivo.pt's SavePageNow was inspired by the Internet Archive Save Page Now and implemented using the webrecorder pywb. Since its launch in January 2022, 573 unique users have helped record 3080 web pages that will be preserved by Arquivo.pt.

This service is also a way of involving the community in general in the process of archiving web pages, so that everyone contributes to ensuring 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 1 year after publication and becomes inaccessible. Arquivo.pt aims to counteract this trend and make it possible to search for and retrieve information from old websites.
