Please note that, any links archived under Anschutz Faculty & Staff can be seen by any accounts under the organization.
What is Perma.CC? Many websites change over time, leading to eventual broken links or inadvertently linking to different content. Perma.cc helps scholars, journals, courts, and others create permanent records of the web sources they want to cite (e.g. CV, Reference List, etc.). And those following your perma.cc created link will see content that was frozen in time. This is not meant to be used for shared links that you want to be dynamically updating as the website changes.
