 Saving and keeping track of pages on web sites

There are estate agency sites which list details of properties for sale, one web page per property. When the property is sold, the agency deletes the page, so it's gone for ever.

I want to save each page, for posterity, and later reference. I could do this manually, or using a web service like changedetection.com, but that only seems to list when a page has changed, not when one has been added. And using the 'synchronise' facility only keeps the current version of the site locally on my machine.

The sites have no frames, nor flash/java trickery, which makes it easier. Furthermore, each page/property seems to be allocated a unique serial number, and the site has a fairly flat navigation structure, making it easier to file/save.

I'd appreciate any tips on a modus operandi, to automate the procedure of saving these pages and filing them for future reference. Ideally the pages would be saved in an IE6 .mht format, complete with graphics, since the graphics will eventually disappear with the pages.

Thanks
Andrew Denny
