Title:Where Did the Web Archive Go?

    Abstract: To perform a longitudinal investigation of web archives
    and detecting variations and changes replaying individual
    archived pages, or mementos, we created a sample of 16,627
    mementos from 17 public web archives. Over the course of our
    14-month study (November, 2017 - January, 2019), we found that
    four web archives changed their base URIs and did not leave a
    machine-readable method of locating their new base URIs,
    necessitating manual rediscovery. Of the 1,981 mementos in our
    sample from these four web archives, 537 were impacted: 517
    mementos were rediscovered but with changes in their time of
    archiving (or Memento-Datetime), HTTP status code, or the string
    comprising their original URI (or URI-R), and 20 of the mementos
    could not be found at all.
