Abstract

Methods, systems and computer program products are provided for archiving information from a plurality of web servers by specifying at least one topic to be searched, searching the plurality of web servers so as to locate information associated with the at least one topic to be searched and retrieving the located information from at least one of the plurality of web servers. The retrieved information is archived so as to allow subsequent retrieval of the archived information independent of the plurality of web servers. This process is then periodically repeated so as to provide a history of information associated with the at least one topic. Systems are also provided including servlets for searching and archiving information on a user specified topic.
