Capturing intranet

Hello, 

I was wondering if it's possible to capture an intranet using Archive-It. My case differs a bit from the case outlined here. Our old website was taken down, and now is maintained by our local IT and hosted locally via an IP address. You have to be connected to our local wifi to access the content. 

Seems like a long-shot, but is there any way that Archive-It could capture this? Thanks!

  Hi, Stefana. Good question! Thanks for asking it.

  As I think you guessed here, the availability of this site only on your local network likely means that our capture technology cannot see it on the web from its own home servers in the Bay Area. That doesn't leave us without options, though. If for instance your local IT can host this site on the World Wide Web, even for a temporary crawling period and/or only visibly to our crawlers' IP range, then that could maintain the discretion that they want and the availability we need to get a copy into the archive. Let us know directly if we can provide any more information about our tech that would help them to do so.
