Memento Depot - PRONI Web Archive

Last updated: January 19, 2015

Archive Content

The PRONI Web Archive is made available by the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland, the official archive of Northern Ireland. The PRONI web archive aims to permanently preserve and make accessible websites that are of historical and cultural importance to Northern Ireland. Further information about this web archive is available via its home page.

Memento Protocol Information

The PRONI 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.dojni.gov.uk, then the resources that are relevant for the Memento protocol are:

TimeGate: http://webarchive.proni.gov.uk/timegate/http://www.dojni.gov.uk
Memento: http://webarchive.proni.gov.uk/20111213123846/http://www.dojni.gov.uk ; etc.
TimeMap: http://webarchive.proni.gov.uk/timemap/http://www.dojni.gov.uk

Integration with the Original Dataset

The original dataset is websites that are of historical and cultural importance to Northern Ireland. In responses to HTTP requests, these resources don't provide a Link header with a "timegate" link to point at their TimeGate at the PRONI Web Archive.
