Is it possible to link to an archived web page from the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine so that the archive header (for browsing other archives of the same page) isn't shown? Perhaps an url parameter? I didn't find anything on their FAQ.
Append id_ to the end of the date string in the url.

If you want to view a page from the Wayback Machine that does not have all of the Wayback rewritten code in it, you can view the bare, archived page by adding “id_” to the end of the date in the URL.
Page with rewritten links and other Wayback code in it:

3Thanks for this method, but this also keeps the original hyperlinks intact, so absolute links or links relative to the server root (begining with a slash "/") will not work (or they will not point to archived pages). Is there a way to just get rid of the header, but make the links work? – Beli Oct 12 '16 at 12:43

11try "im_" instead if "id_". with the latter some websites also lose the CSS so i wold deprecate the use of id as it almost useless – Francesco Oct 2 '17 at 19:40

1Thanks for posting this phwd: Happy to report that this (suffixing either
id_orim_) still works. Checked 2017-Dec-17. Also thanks to @Francesco for your contribution. – martineau Dec 17 '17 at 22:35 -

1im_ and id_ don't seem to make a difference concerning css, it's always broken. Except for the with-header version. – Purpose Mar 2 at 12:38
