The site, in 1995

An online encyclopedia of animals from the University of Michigan, with photographs, sound clips and a virtual museum of skulls.

Most of its writers are undergraduates, often filing species reports for a course. By June 2022 it held about 2,150 species, 11,500 images and 725 sounds.

In 1995: Created this year by Philip Myers, then a biology professor at the University of Michigan.

Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.

The Establishment: Governments, universities, libraries and archives. Very official.
