Highland Memorial Inscriptions site is down

The massively useful Highland Memorial Inscriptions site at https://sites.google.com/site/highlandmemorialinscriptions/home is currently showing as a dead link. 

I've had a look on the Internet Archive, and have found that some of the material has been preserved - for example, the burials at Tomnahurich Cemetery in Inverness, whereas others are not fully available, e.g. the Invernessshire page is only show listings for burials with surnames beginning with the letters A-E.

The latest time the site was saved was March 30th this year, available at https://web.archive.org/web/20230330183615/https://sites.google.com/site/highlandmemorialinscriptions/home.

If anyone knows the fate of this site, and whether this is just a temporary glitch, I would be grateful to learn about it!

  1. Fortunately, the underlying data is still available; eg. Inverness.
