Free trial Archive-It accounts

Archive-It accounts may be used on a free trial basis for up to 15 days in order to provide web archiving experience and samples without financial obligation. During the 15-day free trial period, prospective partners may use many of the same software and services that come standard to any Archive-It partnership. There is no obligation to continue, however any data collected during the trial period may also be stored perpetually by ongoing accounts thereafter if desired. At the end of the 15-day period, Internet Archive staff can consult on the service and storage fees associated with ongoing collecting at your desired scale. A formal quote is also available at any time by request.

To begin your free trial, contact the Archive-It team here.
