📜 Archive Context & Historical Scope
This collection captures the web during a pivotal transition year. HTML 2.0 was just standardized, Mosaic was peaking, and Netscape Navigator 1.0 was gaining massive traction. The archive includes early academic institutions, government portals, personal homepage precursors, and the first commercial web properties.
Notable captures: Early NSFNet mirrors, pre-Yahoo! directories, Usenet gateways, experimental frame-based sites, and the first widely distributed HTML tutorials. All responses preserve original headers, charset declarations, and raw TCP metadata for accurate historical reproduction.
