== Description ==
<!-- Describe the what the tool does, focusing on it's digital preservation value. Keep it factual. -->
Perma creates high fidelity web captures on demand for the specific goal of preserving citations. When a user creates a Perma record, perma.cc captures the referenced content and generates a new link to a playback of the archived record. The record will always be available through the Perma.cc link and is displayed in an iFrame including time and date of capture as well as a path to the live page. Records are stored by the Harvard Law School Library and a consortium of partner institutions. 

Perma.cc differs from traditional web crawlers, capturing content that allows for a high fidelity replay of a given webpage so that users see and interact with a website the way they would have with the live site. It also provides a user interface for account holders to organize and manage their links. Institutional accounts allow for shared foldering. 


== User Experiences ==
<!-- Add hotlinks to user experiences with the tool (eg. blog posts). These should illustrate the effectiveness (or otherwise) of the tool. Use a bullet list. -->
