Abstract
Internet archival is the work of recording Internet data for posterity. Nothing lasts forever on the Internet and without archival, valuable cultural and historical websites may disappear. Tools to preserve Internet data exist but suffer from flaws that preclude them from being the universal solution to data loss. In order to address these flaws, I developed a software tool that would allow the average Internet user to archive websites they find important in a quick and easy to understand manner. The prototype tool is at a stage where it saves a website’s HTML and with continued development, can archive all portions of any given Internet page. This thesis will cover the tool’s development, operational use, and future plans.
