Scope Note

The University of Chicago Web Archive Collection contains snapshots of websites documenting the history of the University of Chicago, the work of its faculty, and the life of the academic community. Websites relating to the Hyde Park, Kenwood, and Woodlawn communities, and to the holdings of the Special Collections Research Center may also be included.

The website snapshots in this collection have been captured using the Internet Archive’s Archive-It service. Efforts have been made to capture all websites as completely as possible, including images, audio, video, and other features, but technical limitations may result in incomplete captures of some sites.

Website captures are available, for both browsing and full-text searching, via the Special Collections Research Center’s Archive-It partner page.

The Special Collections Reseach Center began harvesting websites in 2016. Other University of Chicago websites that have been captured by the Internet Archive since 1997 may be available via the Wayback Machine.
