If there’s a website that has information you need, save the page to your hard drive or print it out for your own personal use again later. You never know when a website will go down forever. There was a website of cemetery inscriptions for one cemetery that after being up for ten years went “away.” And those inscriptions are not on any other cemetery website. Lesson learned.

Excellent advice! I often do that.
The “Way Back Machine” can sometimes show you the archived webpage you wanted to get to:
http://archive.org/web/web.php
You can always try the Wayback Machine at
http://archive.org/web/web.php
I use my snipping tool… and use a system for topic with a number extension [.001, .002, .003 etc] that way I have a clipping of what is important, without alot of note taking. If the page is big… I will start with the weblink at .000
I have never heard of the Wayback Machine…that is amazing. Thank you for that reference!
