Crawls capturing older Archived versions of the site

I am cleaning up our institution's scopes and crawls after many years left lying fallow, and I've come across an issue with our Student Newspaper captures.

https://wayback.archive-it.org/9609/*/http://thetowerlight.com/

Here's the link to all captured instances. Every instance after Aug. 29, 2018 links back to the Aug. 29, 2018 capture of the page. None of the pages updates or changes from the past two years have been archived, and links to these crawls just default back to Aug. 29, 2018.

Have anyone dealt with this type of issue, and is there a fix so our future crawls capture new info?

Apologies for the concern this caused Allison, but please rest assured that your crawls have been capturing current data since 2018.

This was a small bug in Wayback that had been pointing recent links on some calendar pages back to earlier captures. If you take a look at your post-2018 captures, they should now point to the correct capture date. This should be the case elsewhere as well.

Thanks!

Thank you so much, Sylvie! The links work now, and it's great to know the info hasn't been lost.

Thank you for your help!

Allison
