Perma.cc is a service that helps prevent link rot. Use it to preserve the online sources you cite and to make those records accessible to your readers. Perma.cc enables scholars to create permanent records of the web sources they cite. "When a user creates a Perma.cc link, Perma.cc archives the referenced content and generates a link to an archived record of the page. Regardless of what may happen to the original source, the archived record will always be available through the Perma.cc link." The Bluebook supports the use of Perma.cc in Rule 18.2.1(d). The Ross-Blakley Law Library is a member of Perma.cc. If you'd like to begin using Perma.cc in your scholarship to ensure the online sources you cite remain available for readers, please contact Tara Mospan.
