The site, in 1997

The US National Library of Medicine's free search of biomedical research, built mainly on the MEDLINE database of references and abstracts.

Before it, searching MEDLINE meant going through institutions such as university libraries. By March 2025 PubMed held more than 40 million citations and abstracts.

In 1997: Offered free to the public from June 1997, after first appearing in January 1996.

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.
