Arquivo.pt, formerly known as the Portuguese Web Archive, is a web archive that preserves content dating back to 1996.[1] It is a service of the Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia (FCT) and was initially founded at the Fundação para a Computação Científica Nacional by Daniel Coelho Gomes.

The mission of Arquivo.pt is to periodically archive content of national interest available on the web, ensuring the preservation of information of historical significance for future generations. In addition to preserving scientific and historical knowledge, Arquivo.pt also enables individuals to preserve their personal memories.[2][3]

Arquivo.pt provides a free preservation service for Portuguese web authors and serves as a valuable research resource. Researchers have utilized it to measure the accessibility of the Portuguese web for people with disabilities.[4] Additionally, any Internet user can suggest websites to be archived using a form on the Arquivo.pt website.[5]

In 2017, Arquivo.pt celebrated 10 years since the project's inception.[6] During this year, Arquivo.pt received 100,000 users, with a growing trend as the service became more widely known (90% were new users and 53% were from outside Portugal).

Features

In March 2021, Arquivo.pt introduced an image search feature, known as Dionisius. This tool allows users to search for images archived from the web, dating back to 1996. Users can find images that are no longer available on the live web and can also locate the original web pages where these images were published.[7][8] This feature is relatively unique among web archives and provides significant value for users interested in visual content.[9]
