When web pages die

Imagine your school got some press in a newspaper online and you would like to showcase it on your web page.

One option is to provide a link to the web page. Here is an example from http://sites.google.com/a/gardenrayong.com/gis-athletics/home. On the left side you’ll find this link: June 25 – July 1, 2004.

Click on the link and you are brought to the article in the newspaper. But what if/when the newspaper moves or deletes the page? Then you are toast!

It is a good idea to use PrintScreen and IrfanView’s Create Panoramic Image option to make an image of the article before it disappears.

Here is the article saved as an image. Click it to see it in full size.
