The Internet Archive can be viewed at http://www.archive.org/ and has a copy of many Internet pages as they appeared throughout history.

It was founded by Brewster Kahle in 1996.

According to a Cabinet Magazine article titled Who Owns History? published in 2003,

    • "Nineteen ninety-six was when Brewster Kahle set out to do the preposterous—to archive the entire Internet not just once, but over and over again."
    • "The history of the Internet is located between an auto-body shop and a set of new condos at the corner of 6th and Mission in San Francisco. The building, which one of the tenants describes as "an old sweatshop," does have a front door, but Brewster Kahle, founder of the Internet Archive, prefers to use the freight elevator that opens off the alley. One hundred and fifty or so PCs sit nested in cables in a large loft on the second floor."
