Today, I was going back through some back ground research about German immigration in the 19th century. Several years ago I found a wonderful article by Gary T. Horlacher, Using Hamburg Passenger Lists. The article was on the Progenealogist.com website. At one time there were many articles on this website however they are no longer available. I did some digging and found the original article on the Internet Archives Wayback Machine. I want to cite this article for back ground information on how an immigrate came to America. Should I cite the original location on the internet with an explanation that it is no longer available and adding the Wayback machine or just use the Wayback Machine for my citation?
Thank you,
Ann Gilchrest

Would that all "problems"
Would that all "problems" could be solved so easily. As a generic comment, you started out asking about citing the Wayback Machine. Actually, the machine is only a search engine. The results are stored at Archive.org, so that is what we'd be citing.
