Archived Journals: Hum. Aff. Rev., JHA

Visitors to the Journal of Humanitarian Assistance will find a note indicating that "management of the JHA has been handed to the Feinstein International Center" at Tufts University. A redesigned site will become available this month (January).

In the meantime, if you need to retrieve an older article from the JHA, you can do so using the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine. This project regularly harvests and stores web sites. It's not perfect; for example, the JHA archive only has articles up to Feb. 2005 . But often, it's the only means of retrieving "older" or "lost" web-based information.

Another "lost" humanitarian journal is the Humanitarian Affairs Review. In this case, I believe the Internet Archive provides access to all past issues: Spring 2001 to Autumn 2004.

There are plenty of forced migration- and humanitarian-related resources that have come and gone, and not just journals. Try entering a former web address into the Wayback Machine and see what it comes up with.
