Is there a way to get web page creation date?

[Dave]

I recently did a search of my very first web site, through WebArchive,
located here:

http://web.archive.org/collections/web.html

However, I'm seeking the creation date of my web site (and documents within
it), but I don't know how. If I save the document to my desktop, it is
listed as today's date in Properties.

Is there a way to get the creation date/publish date of a web document
somehow?

Last-Modified is the closest thing that comes to mind.

Depending on the server...

You *can* usually get the "last modified" date from a webserver, from the
HTTP headers (many web browsers will show this in the page properties
information box, and there's tools for viewing HTTP headers, as well). If
the server is providing that information, you'll see when the page was last
written to on the server. And if the page hasn't been constently
rewritten, you'll have some indication of the date.

You may have similar luck browsing a website with an FTP client, assuming
that you have FTP access. If so, that's a quick way to list a collection
of files with dates.

If your host allows, you can use server side includes to do this:
