The Internet Archive: A Time Machine for the Web

The internet is constantly changing. Websites disappear, URLs break, and content is edited every single day. Our Internet Archive Tool connects you to billions of saved web pages, allowing you to see exactly what the web looked like at any point in the last 25+ years.

🕰️ Travel Back in Time See the first versions of Google, Facebook, or your own personal blog from the early 2000s.
🔍 Recover Lost Content Find information from websites that have long been taken offline or "broken."
📄 Fact Checking Verify historical changes to news articles, official statements, and corporate pages.

Why use the Wayback Machine?

Digital decay is real. Without archives, our shared history would vanish into 404 errors. By using this tool, you can access the Wayback Machine, which currently preserves over 800 billion web pages. It is an essential resource for researchers, students, and anyone looking for a dose of internet nostalgia.

Pro Tip: If a link you need is dead, copy and paste it into the search bar. There is a high chance a snapshot was taken before it was removed!
