INTERNET ARCHIVE AND WAYBACK MACHINE

INTERNET ARCHIVE AND WAYBACK MACHINE

HAVE YOU HEARD


OF THE INTERNET ARCHIVE?




If not, let's tell you a bit about it.

Founded 21 years ago by Digital Librarian, Brewster Hahle, to give everyone

everywhere access to all knowledge for ever - for FREE.


People told him: why collect webpages?


But he started his Wayback Machine and the Internet Archive followed at a fast

pace and took hold. For instance, in 2017 it saved 200 terabytes of government data

that might have disappeared;

Fixed more than 3 million broken links in Wikipedia using the Wayback Machine;

Archived 757 million tweets and that's just in one year, there are loads more before!


Look for and find the INTERNET ARCHIVE. You could help it continue because

it's so educational and so useful.
