Is there a way to track the information on an old link that does not work anymore?
Thank you,
AE
Google sometimes has cached pages you can view.
Yep. If you Google it, do you get any results at all? If there is a result, but when you click on it you don't get what you're looking for, go back to the Google result and click on "cached". It's in light blue/ lavender font at the very end of the result, just before "similar pages".
Besides that, I would try
Internet Archive and the
wayback maschine there.
(You even can find a lot of
"Abuzz" doing so :wink: )
Hi all,
Oh wow, I thought that this thread had been deleted. I looked at my post section for the first time today, and did not noticed it.
All this help how wonderful! I did googled the info from the dead link to see if I could find another link with similar information, and came up empty.
I have never used a cached pages DrewDad.
I will try that sozobe
Walter thanks I will try those.
I even wrote to several colleges for the information.
Thank you all *smiles*

How to?
One last important question: When searching in the places you suggested, do I add the name of the subject, or do I add the link address?
This is the link, and the information I'm looking for:
Art: Cycle Form:
This form of Art was practiced by many painters of Poe's time and is reflected in poems such as the "The Raven". I never came across this form when I studied Art History. If anybody has more information on the form please let me know. Here is a website with the information:

Here 'tis!
http://web.archive.org/web/20040930202905/http://www.sit.wisc.edu/~crkasprzak/
How I found it:
First I tried to Google it ("crkasprzak"), but it's not cached. Then I used Walter's wayback link. Worked great! This is what it looked like the last time it was updated before it went offline. (The above link.)
Exactly what soz wrote:
although 'google' comes up with a result
Quote:The Cycle of Metamorphosis in Art Forms
The Cycle of Metamorphosis in Art Forms. Page created as a project assignment
by Char Kasprzak for Integrated Liberal Studies 204: Prof. ...
www.sit.wisc.edu/~crkasprzak/
it's unfortunately not cached.
The link
http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.sit.wisc.edu/~crkasprzak/
leads to the archived pages.
Oh, how wonderful, thank you all for the help, and the lesson too. *hug & kiss* for all of you. *big smile*
I can't understand why that art form is not written more about. I have to see if it has the examples the old one had.
Thank you, thank you,
