How do you archive a website? I didn’t even know it was possible.

FindArticles.com died in 2012
Try to find links from
https://archive.org/web/ ,
http://webcitation.org , or
https://archive.is (note: this last one is blacklisted on enwp, iirc). I revived few
deadlinks (not this host though) from these archives.
And try to make habit of archiving websites when you cite something. I think I once saw a
project to automatically archive citation source links but not sure about current status.

There's a point to be made there: Libraries in
some countries are
still being destroyed (see

ml), and although there's an effort to save them, it's not an effort
we're really involved with. That's before we even start on how to
reflect a reference to a non-existent book on Wikipedia!
But to get back to the original point, a semi-automated effort might
be the best way (if the slowest) to get these web pages linked properly again.

Yes, if you forget
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Destruction_of_the_Library_of_Alexandria.
Well of course that was some 1700 years ago. You are equating a
event of millennial proportion with something that happens every
day? Get a grip
on
reality.
