How to

Tool Feature How to Use
Directory

Website directory used to navigate between different web pages.

'Directory Tab'
This tab is used to expand/collapse the directory. By default, the directory is collapsed, as mobile users may find it cumbersome if expanded by default. We are actively looking into solutions for this.

'Portal Link'
These buttons are direct links to other archived sites within the archival portal. 'Note that websites with unstable features are not listed in the directory, but may be accessed by advanced users at their own risk.'

'Return Home'
This button returns the user to the Rotborough Time Machine directory.

'Scroll'
This is the scroll bar used to navigate through the directory.
Time Machine

An interactive tool that enables users to change the date of the archived version being viewed, displaying alternate snapshots of the site as they appeared at different points in time.

'Time Machine Tab'
This tab is used to expand/collapse the Time Machine display. By default, the time machine is collapsed, as mobile users may find it cumbersome if expanded by default. We are actively looking into solutions for this.

'Date Selection Dropdown'
This dropdown menu is used to change the date of the archive being viewed. 'Note that snapshots with unstable features may not be listed in the dropdown, but may be accessed by advanced users at their own risk.'

'Calendar'
The calendar shows an accurate visual representation of the month in which the site is being viewed.

'Archive Date'
The current date shows the approximate day the snapshot being viewed represents. 'However, please be aware that some sites require reconstruction using multiple snapshots due to their age and poor preservation/deliberate corruptions. While most dates should be accurate, reconstructed pages may blend content from adjacent dates, leading to minor temporal inconsistencies or composite entries.'

'Current Date'
The blue highlighted block in the calendar represents the approximate day the snapshot being viewed was taken. 'However, please be aware that some sites require reconstruction using multiple snapshots due to their age and poor preservation/deliberate corruptions. While most dates should be accurate, reconstructed pages may blend content from adjacent dates, leading to minor temporal inconsistencies or composite entries.'
