A closer look at the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine

CBS Sunday Morning recently took a deeper look at the Wayback Machine. Did you know it's been archiving webpages since 1996? I know I've used the Wayback Machine many times, especially to answer questions on organizational history. Questions that couldn't be answered with current website information, but had been featured information at one time. The Wayback Machine helped me go back in time on a website and find that information for a patron.

Thank you, Internet Archive's Wayback Machine!

  1. More than a few times, the Wayback Machine has saved my bacon when I was trying to find an article that is behind a paywall. Check it out the next time you need an article from The Atlantic or similar magazine that is only available to subscribers (and you don't have a subscription). You may be able to find the full text available in The Wayback Machine.
