The site, in 1997

A volunteer-run bibliography of economics research, built on a decentralised database of working papers, journal articles and software.

Hundreds of volunteers in many countries keep it going. It started in 1997, with a precursor, NetEc, dating back to 1993.

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.
