Mass.gov website content archive

Where to find copies of Mass.gov web pages and documents from the past.

To keep the Mass.gov website current and accurate, and to optimize site performance, outdated materials are unpublished.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
  • Deval Patrick
  • Charlie Baker

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.
