Archived State Government Websites

The State Archives and the State Library are pleased to provide access to archived copies of State government Websites that are no longer available on the live Web:

  • Websites of former Governors George E. Pataki and Eliot L. Spitzer
  • Websites documenting other former elected officials
  • Websites of State government bodies that no longer exist

http://www.archives.nysed.gov/a/research/res_tools_arch_sites.shtml
Websites have become part of the “public face” of State government: elected officials, executive branch agencies, and other bodies use the Web to disseminate information and conduct business with citizens. The Archives periodically captures New York State government sites to ensure that older information remains accessible to the public.

When you visit these archived sites, keep in mind that some types of site content cannot be archived properly:

  • External hyperlinks (links to content on sites other than that the archived site). Information that can be accessed only after you complete a form
  • Most audiovisual materials
  • Some advanced Web formatting and design elements, including external stylesheets and some types of Javascript

 

That’s it for this month! Remember that we want to hear from you. State Agency Services is here to help make your job easier by answering questions, doing site visits, and providing training.
