Used to be a great source to find archived Sports Illustrated articles from the pre internet age.

I had a couple article bookmarked recently tried to access them. They bring to the bleacher report homepage.

Googling the SI Vault I got this page.

[http://www.si.com/vault](http://www.si.com/vault)

Which is totally non functional, at least on my browser (Chrome).

Any got the scoop on the SI Vault archives?

That link and page works for me in Firefox and Chrome 39.0.2171.99. The homepage has a single field search box, and I can get it to return results and open the articles it returns. That being said, [SI.com](http://SI.com)’s current layout is awful.

OK, I was able to access the search box.

But the functionality is indeed terrible.

I am trying to search on a 1994 article which I had bookmarked about a year ago and it aint easy.
