The Wayback Machine

Ever wonder what your favorite website looks like before?

Actually, you don’t need a time machine to do that. You just need to use the Internet Archive.

The Internet Archive (IA) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to building and maintaining a free and openly accessible online digital library, including an archive of Web.

Yep, I bet you didn’t know that.

The archive includes “snapshots of the World Wide Web” (archived copies of pages, taken at various points in time), software, movies, books, and audio recordings.

Which brings us to the “Wayback” Machine.

The Wayback Machine is a digital time capsule created by the Internet Archive. It is maintained with content from Alexa Internet. This service allows users to see archived versions of web pages across time—which the Archive calls a “three dimensional index.”

I assure you, using the Wayback Machine is a lot of fun. You can see the archive of your favorite websites based by date.

Just enter the URL of the website and click the “Take Me Back Button” then you will be presented with the archive of the website by date. Select one and enjoy.

You can find the Wayback Machine HERE.
