The site, in 2002

A German portal that searched libraries, archives and museums together; BAM stands for Bibliotheken, Archive, Museen.

It began in 2002 in Baden-Württemberg and went nationwide in 2005. It held more than 60 million records, and its work passed to the Deutsche Digitale Bibliothek when it closed on 30 June 2015.

Dot-com era, 1999 to 2002. Glossy buttons, big money and a bug called Y2K. Some of these companies were worth billions for about a fortnight.

The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
