(this is an LLM summary)
To qualify as archived web content, the content must:
(1) have been created before the entity’s compliance date, or reproduce pre-deadline paper/physical media;
(2) be retained exclusively for reference, research, or recordkeeping;
(3) not be altered or updated after archiving; and
(4) be stored in a dedicated area clearly identified as archived.
DOJ’s guidance is explicit that simply calling something an archive is not enough, and content created after the compliance date generally does not become exempt just because it is later moved into an archive. DOJ gives examples like old meeting minutes and old records that may qualify, while current applications and current ordinances generally do not.
