The site, in 1996

A non-profit digital library that keeps copies of the web, plus books, music, video and software, free to use.

Its Wayback Machine holds more than 1 trillion web captures, mostly gathered by automatic crawlers. It also runs some of the world's largest book digitisation projects.

In 1996: Founded in May by Brewster Kahle, who began collecting snapshots of the fast-growing web with Bruce Gilliat.

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.
