Imaginary Landscape
RSS FeedIt's been around forever (in Internet years), but I am continually surprised at the number of people that are not yet aware of the Way Back Machine.
The Way Back Machine is a searchable archive of all Web pages from 1996 to today. Want to see what your company Web site looked like in 1996? The Way Back Machine will show you. Currently the archive contains 85 billion Web pages totalling more than 2 petabytes of data (2 million gigabytes).
But the Way Back Machine is only part of the story.
The Way Back Machine is provided by the not-for-profit Internet Archive, whose mission is to "offer permanent access for researchers, historians, and scholars to historical collections that exist in digital format."
Besides Web pages, the Internet Archive is full of all kinds of digital materials - music, books, images, video and software.
