To keep the Mass.gov website current and accurate, and to optimize site performance, outdated materials are unpublished.
A snapshot of the overall Mass.gov website (without attached documents) is captured weekly at Archive-IT. Here you can find press releases, content from past administrations, and more from as far back as 2008.
That's also where you can find:
- Daily snapshots of the home page
- Daily snapshots of the official Commonwealth Facebook and Twitter accounts
- Quarterly or monthly copies of the entire Mass.gov site, with documents
- Archived pages of websites of prior Governors
You can also find snapshots of state government web content at the Wayback Machine internet archive, which goes back to 2001.
- Pages from www.mass.gov (2002 to present)
- Pages from www.state.ma.us (1998 to 2001)
The Archive-IT snapshots are not an offical state archive. For official state archives, please contact the Massachusetts Archives or visit the State Library of Massachusetts.
