Please don't scroll past this. This year we’ve reached an extraordinary milestone: 1 trillion web pages preserved on the Wayback Machine. This makes us the largest public repository of internet history ever assembled—an essential resource that preserves the web for all.
These webpages are more than just numbers. They represent real impact on people’s lives, research, and memory. We'd be deeply grateful this Tuesday if you'd join the one in a thousand users that support us financially. Our resources are crucial for knowledge lovers everywhere—so if you find all these bits and bytes useful, please pitch in.
Can You Chip In? We’re celebrating our 1 trillionth archived web page—making us the largest public repository of internet history ever assembled. If you find our archive useful, please pitch in.
These crawls are part of an effort to archive pages as they are created and archive the pages that they refer to. That way, as the pages that are referenced are changed or taken from the web, a link to the version that was live when the page was written will be preserved.
Then the Internet Archive hopes that references to these archived pages will be put in place of a link that would be otherwise be broken, or a companion link to allow people to see what was originally intended by a page's authors.
This is a collection of pages and embedded objects from WordPress blogs and the external pages they link to. Captures of these pages are made on a continuous basis seeded from a feed of new or changed pages hosted by Wordpress.com or by Wordpress pages hosted by sites running a properly configured Jetpack wordpress plugin.
