Old web pages might be on the “Wayback Machine”. I think it’s archive.org?
Yeah, you can click the black thingies in whatever year you want.
https://web.archive.org/web/20220000000000*/www.cma.ca
But they all take you to a default page, so it looks like it’s been scrubbed.
But I don’t use this very often so I don’t really know how it works.
No, not scrubbed, but it looks like they only started crawling the “Memoriam” page in 2019. The “black thingies” only go back that far:
https://web.archive.org/web/20220000000000*/https://www.cma.ca/memoriam
Here is the web archive capture for Dec. 18, 2019:
https://web.archive.org/web/20191218092718/https://www.cma.ca/memoriam
The trouble is, you can’t get the entire year via the archive. This capture only gives deaths through part of November.
The dropdown menu shows years going back to 2016, but then you get a message that the url wasn’t archived. So, either they intended to add deaths going back to 2016, but never got around to it, or they changed the name of the page and url in 2019. I would guess the latter.
I wonder how reliable this is as a source, anyway. How can we be sure they include all physician deaths? How are the Memoriam notices gathered?
