How many active geocaches in a country, at a past date

Question

Is there a way to check how many active geocaches there were in a country or area for a past date? Knowing that there is a way of "turning back the time" for user stats - e.g. https://project-gc.com/Statistics/ProfileStats?llh=2025-10-30 I was wondering if there is also a way to see how many in an area at a specified date.

Answer 1

You can use filters to look for caches that were published before that date and archived afterwards.

Edit - looking at in more closely, it doesn't seem that you can directly filter by archived date. An alternative would be to put all caches published before that date into VGPS and sort by archived date, then delete all those archived before the date.
