Part of this problem with broken urls is caused by the loss of
Geocities and their website hosting.
There's this "GeoCities Project and Friends" which explains who has
captured and is archiving Geocities.
"Upon the announcement of the closing of GeoCities, an attempt was
made to rescue as much data from GeoCities' destruction as possible.
The page with details about the project is here. The project's
harvesting phase was from April-October 2009, and involved several
dozen people and hundreds of machine instances. To various degrees of
quality, a very large amount of GeoCities information was mirrored.
There have been other parallel projects also mirroring GeoCities
besides Archive Team. These include Archive.Org, Reocities, Oocities,
geocities.ws, and Internet Archaeology. All groups appear to have
gotten different amounts of the GeoCities collection, and most are now
sharing data to track down gaps and share copies."
