The Internet Archive is a nonprofit digital library, and home to a giant archive of the public web since 1996. Our web archive is viewable for free via the Wayback Machine.

GeoCities was an important outlet for personal expression on the Web for almost 15 years, but was discontinued on October 26, 2009.

The Internet Archive launched special several deep collection crawls, including specific sites nominated by the public, over the prior few months to help make our archive of GeoCities sites as deep and thorough as possible.

We've collected a lot of GeoCities sites over the years — even before news of the shutdown. You can immediately check if a site of interest was collected prior to 2009 by entering its address here:

Content from the special collection crawls of July to October of 2009 is not yet available for browsing in the Wayback Machine. We expect that material to begin appearing in the next 1-2 weeks.

Special Thanks

While archiving GeoCities is an independent Internet Archive project, we thank Yahoo for their guidance and open communication about the upcoming GeoCities closure. See the Yahoo! Help Center for more info.

We also thank the independent volunteer team of archivers at Archive Team for their efforts to preserve GeoCities and contribute URL surveys to our project.

Another independent project, Reocities, is also mirroring a substantial portion of Geocities and exchanged URL lists with the Internet Archive during the final round of archiving.
