and
The Wayback Machine, Internet Archive
These links are two great ways to get to the Wayback Machine. Not familiar with it? Please allow me introduce you. The Wayback Machine has been around for 19 years, and has literally billions of saved URLs. If you ever tried a hyperlink and got that annoying 404 message, did you know it was still alive and well on the Wayback Machine?
As you can imagine, the Wayback Machine is huge. There has been only one way to search on the Wayback Machine – you had to have the URL. If did not have the exact URL, you were out of luck.
The great news is that the Laura and John Arnold Foundation have donated several million dollars to create a search engine for the Wayback Machine. The word is that it will be ready sometime in 2017. Imagine being able to search that much data!
Commonly, if you are researching on the Internet, you use Google, Bing, or another major search engine. How long do those links stay available? It varies, right? You thought Google was huge? It is said that the Wayback Machine has snapshots of every webpage ever posted on the Internet. Every single one.
Think about a researcher’s possibilities when the search engine is up and running. It is going to be interesting. -CCE

99 Resources to Research & Mine the Invisible Web, originally from College Degee.com, posted by Marcus P. Zillman at LLRX.com
Be warned. Not all resources listed here – and there are many more at the link above — are sometimes fee based. You may need to sort and give each a test run to see whether it performs as you wish. Still, it includes some interesting search engines, databases, and other resources that are not usually found. If you are a serious researcher, you will find these useful. -CCE
College researchers often need more than Google and Wikipedia to get the job done. To find what you’re looking for, it may be necessary to tap into the invisible web, the sites that don’t get indexed by broad search engines. The following resources were designed to help you do just that, offering specialized search engines, directories, and more places to find the complex and obscure.

Law Guru
http://www.lawguru.com/research.html
Another free Internet legal research tool. Law Guru have over 535 search engines. You can search state and federal case law, statutes and codes, and more.
It has some other nice features, too. It has a database of over 500,000 legal questions and answers. I know that sounds tempting and it may point you in the right direction. But if you are not an experienced legal researcher, please do not rely on these answers as you sole source of legal information. These questions and answers are generic – the facts of your situation may mean that the answer you get here is not the right one for your problem.
Law Guru also has a legal dictionary, links to legal articles, the Internet Law Library, and legal forms (there is a charge for these forms). -CCE

Comparative and Foreign Law, International Law Resource Center, LLRX.com
http://www.llrx.com/comparative_and_foreign_law.html
My apologies. I should have thought of going directly to LLRX.com as one of the first places to look for a strong compilation of foreign law materials. If you are not already familiar with LLRX.com, then I strongly recommend that you make this a bookmark and visit it frequently.
Sabrina I. Pacifici is the genius behind this website. She is its founder, editor, and publisher. She also is the author of beSpacific Blog. < http://www.bespacific.com/> This is another blot add to your bookmarks. Ms. Pacifici is a well-recognized expert on legal research, and her work is consistently top notch. Again, both web sites are worth poking around. One never knows what other useful information may pop up. -CCE

Adoption Law, HG.org
http://www.hg.org/adoption.html
A compilation of information about adoption, starting with a brief explanation of this area of law, termination of parental rights, open vs. closed adoptions, adoption by a step-parent, and working with an adoption law. This is interesting but the meat comes next, in my opinion, in the sections on knowing your rights, articles on adoption law, and so on. You might also take note at the top of the web page of a hyperlink to “Family Law,” which provides a good overview of that area of law as well.
HG.org (formerly Hieros Gamos.org) is a free legal directory with an abundance of information about American law. It provides a search engine to look for attorneys, topics of law, and more. If you have not already spent time looking at each section of this legal directory, I encourage you to do so.
HG.org is not the only legal directory, but I think it is one of the best. I have already provided a list of similar resources on the Internet at https://researchingparalegal.com/2013/10/23/some-of-the-best-free-legal-research-guides-on-the-internet-no-wikipedia-does-not-count/. If you have not already had an opportunity to visit that link, I think you will find the resources there worth bookmarking. -CCE
