| There is a growing interest in computing history, computer networking and how it all came to be. In early 2000's I started noticing a increase of early historically significant web sites going offline. I didn't want an important part of our culture disappear, so around 2011 I started a long-term project with the goal of preserving web sites that are disappearing and primarily focus on archiving, and later on build a comprehensive service, where archived web sites can be browsed and searched as if they were still online. Over the years I've placed a special emphasis on preserving the look and feel of the early Internet experience as close as possible. For the scope of the project, mid-to-late 1990's was chosen. There are several other reasons this timeline was chosen. | There is a growing interest in computing history, computer networking and how it all came to be.
