Web Crawls

The Web Archive of the Internet Archive started in late 1996, is made available through the Wayback Machine, and some collections are available in bulk to researchers. Many pages are archived by the Internet Archive for other contributors including partners of Archive-IT, and Save Page Now users. Other captures are donated to the Internet Archive by other partners such as Alexa Internet.
