May 26, 2006 Internet Research with Dimension Posted by Julie M. Fenster at 09:40 AM EST A website called Internet Archive Wayback Machine has archived 55 billion pages of the Internet through the years, from 1994 to the present. If you’re curious, you can see the first incarnations of signature sites such as Yahoo!—which is not that all that different, graphically, from today’s version—or Amazon or eBay or even AmericanHeritage.com. For historical researchers, the site allows the use of Internet articles and opinion contemporary with unfolding events (some of which are collected in special sections; scroll down the homepage to see). The homepage is at http://www.archive.org/web/web.php.
