@w__h_ @fhardwig I just checked and it looks like a lot of the data is indeed there, but you have to look thru it from the "URLs" view https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://type.org.uk/archive/*
here is what a single page loads

@liaizon @w__h_ Thanks for the correction, it’s appreciated. Yes, some images have indeed been captured, which may be helpful in some cases.
When using the URL view and filtering for "image/jpeg", I get 82 entries. The others that turn up in a search for ".jpg" were captured at a point when the content was already gone, and are listed with MIME type "warc/revisit". Anyway, it’s only a fraction what used to be 1K+ images in browsable form.
