Each office can decide how to archive content that did not get migrated to Planet 4. Greenpeace International, however, did a full backup of all sites and made their content available via both P4 integration and external sources.
Greenpeace content represents our history, how we have become the world’s largest environmental organization.
Where to find archived content
Greenpeace P3 sites
Each P3 website has been crawled in the Internet Archive. This static HTML collection of sites represents the main Archive of Greenpeace content since we started publishing on the web.
Greenpeace Archive Collection
All P3 Documents G-Drive
All pdf, xls, xlsx, doc, docx, ppt and pptx ever uploaded on our websites have been extracted into a Google Drive, split by file type and year. A Greenpeace Google ID is required to access the folder.

The Greenpeace Media Library (fully integrated with Planet 4) remains the best place to access, browse and get the amazing visual history of Greenpeace.

Among P4 Search results
With one click, the Planet 4 – Archive integration allows users to access P3 content right from the P4 search. This feature can be enable in Production, Staging or Dev sites (or all 3 of course).
Why archiving?
Once completed the content audit, it’s clear what content needs to be migrated to P4 or archived.
The content non migrated to P4 must remain available for everyone to access for ever. This way Greenpeace has a new, clean and light website, without loosing its institutional, historical content.
Archived content can not be edited and should not be actively pushed to the public. It represents our legacy, not a tool to actively campaign.
- Provide access from Planet 4 – either by link in Footer, redirects or as embedded search results (“browse the archive” or “see results from archived content”);
- Be Powered with an internal search within the archive;

What has happened to archived content?
- No more access to P3 admin panel. This means that even Global IT wizards will not be able to access the admin panel anymore.
- ALL P3 content are now in static HTML format. This means custom code will not work anymore, like pop up windows, search or menu on top. Links in content will remain working.
- Archived content is not editable. P3 content (text, images, documents) will remain the same, with no option to make changes.
- P3 search feature does not work. Should you be willing to search archived conten, please use the The URL of the archived pages has changed. It looks like https://wayback.archive-it.org/9650/20200212113701/http://p3-raw.greenpeace.org/international/en/campaigns/climate-change/arctic-impacts/
- Old P3 URLs will automatically redirect to the new archive URLs. So you do NOT need to make any changes on your content when referring to archive. Just keep in mind that if your link in your footer is redirecting to your archive P3 homepage, better to redirect it to archive-it search page (link will be provided soon).
