I created this site because I think it ought to exist. The shifting homepages of major media sites should be saved so they can be studied. Done right, I believe PastPages could serve as a resource for scholars seeking to study coverage of news events, like the upcoming U.S. presidential election.<p>Regularly collecting the data costs money. So I've organized a Kickstarter in hopes of raising funds to keep it up. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/651552740/keep-pastpages-alive
Do you have permission to be taking these snapshots? The Newseum does something similar for print content and has agreements with all of the organizations so that they don't just Cease & Desist them out of existence.<p><a href="http://www.newseum.org/todaysfrontpages/" rel="nofollow">http://www.newseum.org/todaysfrontpages/</a>

I think hosting a static image is cool, but doesn't the Internet Archive already have a full-HTML archive of these pages? e.g. <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20110729013424/http://www.nytimes.com/" rel="nofollow">http://web.archive.org/web/20110729013424/http://www.nytimes...</a>
Same service here, but for newspapers (with more than 1000 newspapers around the globe):<p><a href="http://en.kiosko.net/us/" rel="nofollow">http://en.kiosko.net/us/</a>
