In what way could this considered to be “your own internet archive”? I see no way to register a user and save pages to a collection.

If you really want to create your own archive, set up a Live Archiving HTTP Proxy[1], run SquidMan [2] or check out WWWOFFLE[3].

If you want something simpler, have a look at Webrecorder[4] or a paid Pinboard account with the “Bookmark Archive”[5].

Great points.

You're right, for now it's a single rate-limited HTML form and you'll have to manually collate the links to the archives you create. I'll be adding specialty features (with accounts) next. :)

Another pair of even simpler solutions:

Print and store pages as PDFs.

Download and save entire pages as webarchives (Safari, wget)
