Internet Archive Way Back Machine
The Internet Archive's Wayback Machine allows you to look at websites from the past. Not every page of every site has been captured, and sometimes the site takes a while to load and may be somewhat glitchy, but a few examples of sites you may be interested in:
- Living Wage Campaign - While the Living Wage Campaign site is currently live, it has definitely changed over time! You can use the Internet Archive's WayBack Machine to look at snapshots of the website dating back to 2012.
- UVA News/ Top News/ UVA Today - various UVA news sites appear to have been captured all the way back to 1997. You would likely need to scan through news for specific dates, as there is no search functionality within the captured sites themselves.
- SUUVA/CWA - the Internet Archive has captured the Staff Union UVA site a bunch of times between 2002 and 2009 (for dates after that, results are for a different organization.
- GLU-CWA - Captured Graduate Labor Union website between 2002 and 2008. You may have some trouble accessing pages on the earliest dates, but more available in 2004, for example.
