Last updated: June 29, 2016

Archive Content

The National Library of Ireland Web Archive is made available by the National Library of Ireland. The archive aims to permanently preserve and make accessible significant Irish websites. Further information about this web archive is available via its home page.

Memento Protocol Information

The National Library of Ireland Web Archive is accessible via the Memento "Time Travel for the Web" protocol. Hence, it supports datetime negotiation to access a version of a web resource as it existed at a specific moment in time. Check out the brief introduction to Memento if you are not familiar with it.

Presuming the Original Resource (current version) is http://www.garda.ie/, then the resources that are relevant for the Memento protocol are:

TimeGate: http://collection.europarchive.org/nli/timegate/http://www.garda.ie/
Memento: http://collection.europarchive.org/nli/20110310152334/http://www.garda.ie/ ; etc.
TimeMap: http://collection.europarchive.org/nli/timemap/http://www.garda.ie/

Integration with the Original Dataset

The original dataset consists of significant Irish websites curated by the National Library of Ireland. In responses to HTTP requests, the resources on these websites don't provide a Link header with a "timegate" link to point at their TimeGate at the National Library of Ireland Web Archive.
