Here are three ways to find missing webpages:

- Your web browsing program may have saved the missing pages on your own
computer, but "forgotten" where it is located on your hard drive. Read you
browsing program help files to figure out where the missing page might be.

- Some of the search engine website reports, such a Google, have a [cached]
choice next to each item. If the webpage is missing at its original
location, clicking on [cached] takes you to the same page which had been
downloaded to the search engine website and stored there at the time it was
indexed.

- Finally, there is the Internet Achive Project at www.archive.org which has
stored some 10 billion webpages since 1995. Earlier this year I wanted a
webpage that I had posted for a short time at my own website back in 1997,
but had no copy or backup of it here on my own computer. I found a copy of
it at the Internet Archive Project.
