The Internet Archive (IA) has become an essential tool for public health researchers in the wake of thousands of pages disappearing from the CDC website. Following significant executive orders from President Trump, researchers utilized IA to preserve deleted public health data and to track modifications to CDC information. Virologist Angela Rasmussen emphasized IA's role in allowing easy comparisons between current and historical website versions, asserting its importance for ongoing monitoring amid potential data accessibility changes due to government directives.
Moving forward, Rasmussen told Ars that IA will likely remain a go-to tool for researchers attempting to closely monitor for any unexpected changes in access to public data.
IA continually updates their archives, which makes IA a good mechanism for tracking modifications to these websites that haven't been made yet.
