Someone else on this list recently pointed me to www.webcitation.org, 
which seems to exist for exactly this purpose.  I've been gradually 
going through articles I've edited in the past and submitting any web 
pages I've cited for archiving, and I encourage others to do the same. 
Their bookmarklet feature is particularly convenient for this.
