if I use Web Archive is the page downloaded to my DT database or it disappears when it disappears in the original site?
The page is downloaded… but this depends on the actual page on the actual site. Webarchive was created to have a complete offline copy of a web page. In fact, for many millions of pages on the Internet*, this is still true. However, this is less true in more recent times, especially as paywalled content and content being loaded dynamically became prevalent. So there are pages where you may get an article’s text but not the images. That may be sufficient. If not, many people opt to clip or print to PDF.
* It’s estimated there are over 50 billion web pages indexed by Google and a huge number beyond that as well.
thanks, but…
even print to pdf make a mess (only first page…)
keep going…
What is the URL?
Perhaps the website people do not want you taking copy and have interfered with you doing it using tricks of the trade?
