The Internet Archive, at archive.org, has been making copies of the Web since 1996. It’s a free library of virtually all publicly available sites on the web.
In 1999 the Internet Archive asked me to develop a new site that would communicate the Archive’s mission for the public good and serve as a resource on privacy, copyright, and other complex legal issues.
