Looking for older web data (2008–2013) and tips for pre-2008 archives

Hey everyone,
First off, huge thanks to the OSCAR team—this project is awesome and super valuable for anyone working with large-scale text data.
I’m digging into some historical web text for a research project and I’m trying to find web data from around 2008–2013. I couldn’t spot any clear way to grab that period from OSCAR or related sources—did I miss something obvious?
Also, has anyone tried to fill in pre-2008 web content—like merging older crawls or using archives (e.g., Internet Archive) to rebuild earlier snapshots? Would love to hear about any tools, datasets, or workflows people have used.
Any pointers or experiences would be super appreciated!
Thanks 😀
