The information available on the World Wide Web changes with incredible speed. New information is added and old information is altered. This means that a document which is important to a user accessing the Web may change, move or even disappear altogether. Described here is an autonomous agent, written in Java, which locally archives documents that are deemed important by the user. These locally archived documents are then available-quickly-when needed.
