Ask HN: Where do I find whois history? Does archive.org support this?

I am looking for old whois records of a domain which free. Is there any provider, where I can get old whois records? Does Archive.org provider such records?

Alright, best way to use the Waybackmachine is: query the who.is domain and from thereon the domain you want to find out something (be aware that this might have never been cached in https://who.is, therefore you might be out of luck)

Example:

https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://who.is/whois/google.co...
