The site, in 1993

A bibliography of computer science papers, begun at the University of Trier in Germany and now part of Schloss Dagstuhl.

The name first stood for DataBase systems & Logic Programming. It grew from about 14,000 entries in 1995 to over 5.4 million by December 2020. Michael Ley, who maintained it, won an ACM award for it in 2019.

In 1993: It began at Trier as a small collection of HTML files.

Pioneer era, up to 1994. Grey pages, blue links and a browser called Mosaic. Images were optional. So was colour.

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