Today, October 21, 2025, there is a rally in San Francisco in support of @internetarchive. Tomorrow, the Internet Archive is having a party to celebrate 1 trillion webpages archived. To show my appreciation for their most famous creation, the Wayback Machine, this week's Cybercultural post takes you back 24 years to its launch. Thank-you @brewsterkahle and long live the Internet Archive! https://cybercultural.com/p/wayback-machine-launch-2001/ #InternetHistory

2001: The Internet Gets a Memory With the Wayback Machine

In October 2001, Brewster Kahle demonstrates a new time machine from the Internet Archive called the Wayback Machine. It will become a vital link between the Web's past and its present.

Wonderful piece about the Internet Archive's Web collections and the Wayback Machine.

Timely too-- San Francisco and California are declaring Oct 22nd, 2025 Internet Archive Day!

Thank you!
