In January 2025, the White House website was archived as a way to preserve the online presence of the administration of President Joseph R. Biden Jr. 

The official files that make up a Presidential administration's website are preserved in the National Archives’ Executive Office of the President Electronic Records Archive. In order for the public to easily access the websites, the National Archives has taken an additional step to "freeze" the websites and make them available online. Because the archived websites are hosted by the National Archives and are historical material, they are no longer updated. Any broken links (internal or external) will not be updated. 

Archived websites are an excellent resource for photographs, speeches, press releases, digital data, and other public domain records of the Biden Presidency from 2021–2024. 

Following the precedent set by the William J. Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack H. Obama, and Donald J. Trump administrations, the WhiteHouse.gov domain will be transferred to the incoming administration.
