• Retain documents, not just web links to the documents

    While your advice to always save the original document is very sound,
    the document might still be on the website, but on a different page or
    with a different name, so the link (the path to the document) isn't
    accurate now. You might try truncating the URL a piece at a time (some shortened versions won't work because of directory limitations), and see
    where that takes you.

    If the site offers a site search,that might also be helpful

    At one time there was a website dedicated to the Jewish Cemetery in Harbin, China,
    with lists of all those buried there. I printed out every page, and one day, the
    site was gone. But I still have my printed pages....

    Don't give up quite yet....
