Former publishers of IOSH's official (then) monthly magazine SHP ceased trading a few months ago and now it seems like their entire website shponline.co.uk has also disappeared without a trace. A great shame as I had bookmarked many of their news, in court and other articles over the years. Now they all link to one place, their former publishers website. Anyone know whether these webpages are archived and publicly available elsewhere, or do I need to a) delete a couple of hundred bookmarks and b) find new links to similar information which I often shared with new entrants to our Safety Team and business to help with their understanding of certain legal duties and through the in court articles demonstrate what those duties mean in practice.

That is a shame. As you say, it was very useful for prosecutions history. There are freely usable web archiving sites such as Wayback Machine which store snapshots of websites at time intervals, and can be used to retrieve this kind of thing.

I recall someone showing me a document they had been working on for a significant period of time which relied upon hyperlinks to a large number of external providers information.
They were similarly gutted when in trying to show the information was current clicked a link where the providers web site had been changed in consequence of a corporate take over. Hyperlinks, QR codes and similar tools are only reliable when you control both ends, for everything else there is "print to pdf" or "save as pdf" which I would strongly recommend as you rebuild your library.
