Memory Hole

Earlier this week I gained a lot of attention for generating (with the help of others) an index of the entire CDC.gov website, with direct links to all ~7,200 pages archived by the Internet Archive on or before 1/27/25.

At the time, I was scrambling to slap together something in light of the news that the Musk/Trump Regime had begun purging thousands of pages of critical public health information from federal websites, so I wasn't very sophisticated about how I did it: I simply broke all ~7,200 links into chunks of 500 apiece and pasted them into 15 pages.

A few days later we did something similar with FDA.gov, except this time I took the time to set it up with a drop-down menu with each page covering a different major topic.

As a follow-up to my index of links to archived versions of every CDC.gov page available prior to the Musk/Trump purge, I (with the help of others) have created a similar index of direct links to the Internet Archive's most recent mirrored versions of every public-facing web page on the Food & Drug Administration's website (FDA.Gov) prior to content being purged.

At least...as far as I know...the links are from on or shortly before January 27, 2025. It's possible that they were already tinkering with and/or deleting pages/data prior to then.

I've significantly improved the interface for the FDA links: Instead of simply lumping all the links together, 500 to a page the way I did for the CDC, this time I've broken all of the links out into major topics as well as creating a drop-down menu for the topics to make it easier to navigate.

Feb 4 (Reuters) - A medical advocacy group on Tuesday sued the main U.S. health agencies over the sudden removal of websites containing public health information in response to an executive order by President Donald Trump targeting what his administration deemed to be "gender ideology extremism."

Doctors for America said in the lawsuit, filed in Washington, D.C. federal court, that the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has removed "numerous" longstanding websites since the order.

Those include a page on behavioral health risks among youth, which the lawsuit says is important for understanding health challenges faced by young people, including bullying and vaping; pages with data on the prevalence of HIV and associated risky behaviors; and a page on getting tested for HIV, which the lawsuit called "an important communication tool for physicians."

As horrific as it is that the Trump/Musk Administration is purging data from federal websites, it's good to know that the Internet Archive has been archiving much of it. However, in addition to the Archive not being able to mirror everything, there's also the problem of not always knowing what pages have been purged in the first place.

With that in mind, I present a full list of and links to the archived versions of all ~7,200 individual HTML pages which were available at CDC.gov as of January 27, 2025. Since the full list is so unwieldy, I've broken it into 15 pages. The links are in alphabetical order by URL hierarchy.

It's important to note that there will still likely be some broken links below due to the Internet Archive not being able to mirror them even prior to the Trump/Musk purge for whatever technical reasons:
