Hi folks
The other day I chanced across a website where somebody is attempting to make a permanent record of what is out there on the Internet before it all disappears and is replaced by something more asinine.
Their aim is to record for posterity, and for study, as much of the Internet as they can. The Internet Archive is working to prevent the Internet ? a new medium with major historical significance ? and other "born-digital" materials from disappearing into the past. Collaborating with institutions including the Library of Congress and the Smithsonian, we are working to permanently preserve a record of public material.
I found an old copy of the Mudcat as it was in 1998 via this location Blicky to - http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.mudcat.org
Their archives also include archived film material - public infomercials and stuff, if you can spare a few hundred megabites per download.
Just thought it may be if interest to some of you out there!
Quack!

p.s. I have also posted the same links in another thread, but hardly anyone seems to have noticed.......
