Create Permanent Links with Perma.cc
About
Perma.cc is an online preservation tool that addresses the problem of broken hyperlinks in law review article citations. It was developed by Harvard Law Library in conjunction with other law libraries around the country. Law journals and legal scholars use Perma.cc to create a permanent, archived version of a web page with a permanent URL address. That way if a web page is taken down or the link is otherwise broken, the page will still be accessible through the Perma.cc link.

FAQ
How do I create an account?
Anyone can create a free Perma.cc account to archive up to ten webpages. Accounts affiliated with the Moritz Law Library can archive an unlimited amount of webpages. If you are a Research Assistant or a Journal Editor, check with your Professor or your Managing Editor to see whether they already have an affiliated Perma.cc account for you to use. To request a Law Library-affiliated account, email Matt Cooper, Assistant Director for Public Services, at cooper.373@osu.edu.
What can I archive on Perma.cc?
Perma.cc suggests creating a Perma link to archive any freely available web content not published in permanent form, such as blog entries, news stories, press releases, and government reports. According to their Terms of Service, you should only archive material that is "freely available on the Internet to the general public without paying, registering with the website, or the like" and "cited in a legal work or in a work of scholarship, reporting, criticism or commentary."
