    Hi

    I created some web pages over a decade ago and would like to try and access them. I don't remember the exact urls from the time.

    I did use both Eircom and geocities by yahoo to host Web pages.

    Does anyone know I might go about gaining access to these Web pages? I think geocities no longer exists.

    Is there away to access cached versions of websites that existed over a decade ago?

    Many thanks!

    If you were using GeoCities there was (might still be) an online archive of every single page on there that you could download .. though it's quite a big file :)

    Archive.org is probably your best bet .. though unfortunately its index isn't 100%

    Do you have that? What date is it from? (I'm looking for CollegePark/Quad/7257/* ;))

    Can't seem to find anything on the achieve website.

    I used to used my yahoo or geocities accounts to store files in the Web storage that came with the account and also used the webspace to host a small site.

    Would the files from the Webster age be available as well or is it just cached versions of old Web pages that are available?
