Perma.cc

It may help to familiarize yourself with Perma.cc terms account types before using the service. 

• Organizational Account: An environment that allow users with shared affiliations to create and manage links collaboratively. Organizations may also be created for faculty who are working with a team of graduate students and research assistants. 
• Organizational Users: Users to be affiliated with an organizational account. 
• Sponsored Users: Accounts for users who work independently rather than as part of an organization. 

Create Perma Links

• Log in and enter the URL of the page you want to preserve.
• Select your organization in the affiliated with dropdown menu, click Create Perma Link. This brings you to the newly created Perma archive (example).

Link Creation Limits

• Create up to 10 Perma Links/month in your Personal Links folder.
• Create unlimited links affiliated with your organization.

Private Links

When a Perma Link defaults to private after creation, it’s commonly because the original site has a ‘no-archive’ tag in its code. You can still access the link in your Perma account, and it can be used for citation, but those outside of your organization will have to be given access by you if they wish to view it. For more on Private Records, see the Perma.cc User Guide.
