The REAL Archives
For many years, MANOVERBOARD.com has posted links to artists who were once featured. The goal has always been to add these artists’ work and ideas to the site to provide a collection of visual and written objects that, in their totality, add up to so much more, perhaps even a mini-world (if we’re lucky). I called this area, yes, that’s right, “The Archives.”
Well, I’ve just come across (again, but really for the first time) the many projects out there that archive the Web. Please take a look at these. They show what the Web looked like as far back as 5 years ago. It’s truly incredible. You might even want to look at what MANOVERBOARD.com looked like on April 23, 2000, seemingly eons ago.
The amount of bytes of storage for the first of the two project must be insane. Can you imagine? I cannot. Without further ado:
Internet Archive — every Web site ever recorded for your eyes only, almost.
The September 11 Archive — a record of news, photos, information from that day in history.
