internet archive - go wayback!

The Internet Archive is an amazing non-profit organisation formed by alexa.com's Brewster Kahle. It operates the multiple award-winning Wayback Machine, which has literally terabytes of data documenting the history of the Internet by archiving ALL of the web from 1996 to date! Also run by the Archive is the wonderful Internet Bookmobile project, which travels round the country allowing children to print out and bind their own out-of-copyright books, and shows how literacy projects like this can be done cheaply and efficiently. I've just volunteered to take charge of their CD-ROM archive, comprising many titles from the classic age of multimedia, and I'm going to be attempting to organise the collection and make more of it available online over the next few weeks. Progress reports here soon..
