The Internet Archive is a nonprofit organization that started in 1996. The website, www.archive.org, is dedicated to building and maintaining a free and openly accessible online digital library and an archive of the World Wide Web. So it is basically like a “digital time capsule”. This is a great tool for historians, scholars, and the general public to access the historical collections that exist in digital format.
Since 1996 expanded into different archive projects, which include:
The Wayback Machine is how I first found out about the internet archive. What it does is archives screenshots of websites that would otherwise be unseen after a site would update.
So this allows user to see the progression of the internet from 1996 to the present, and it also shows hows how user interactivity of website platforms has changed over the years.
