We believe the early internet belongs to everyone. Our mission is to preserve digital history, support education, and ensure no piece of our shared online heritage is ever lost to time.
Every day, thousands of websites go offline forever. The early web β with its raw creativity, experimental design, and genuine human connection β is disappearing at an alarming rate.
Our archival efforts have already preserved over 4.2 million pages, but we know this is just the beginning. We work tirelessly to crawl, capture, and restore forgotten digital treasures before they're gone for good.
We provide free access to our archive for educational institutions worldwide, enabling students and researchers to study the evolution of the internet firsthand.
Through curriculum development, teacher training, and research partnerships, we're building a new generation that understands the digital foundations we stand on.
From bridging digital divides to fighting digital decay, every initiative we run is designed to create lasting positive change.
We collaborate with national libraries and archives worldwide to ensure digital preservation meets the highest professional standards.
Our entire archive is free to access. No paywalls, no subscriptions β just open knowledge for everyone, everywhere.
We modernize archived pages with accessibility overlays while preserving their original aesthetic, making history usable for all.
All our servers run on 100% renewable energy. We've offset 120 tons of COβ through reforestation partnerships since 2020.
Our volunteer community of 1,200+ digital archivists helps identify and preserve at-risk websites before they vanish forever.
We award $250,000 annually in research grants to scholars studying digital culture, web history, and information preservation.
