Internet Archive has kept trillion websites – the largest amount of archived materials in the history of the Internet

This October Internet Archive celebrates a historical achievement – one trillion of saved websites available through Wayback Machine. It is the largest amount of archived materials in the history of the Internet.

From the time of its creation in 1996, Internet Archive has documented the digital era-from the first sites of the 90’s to modern social networks. Every day, Wayback Machine stores more than 498 million pages, storing both large media resources and little -known blogs, forums and personal pages that could already disappear from the network. In total, the archive contains more than 150 petabytes of data, including books, audio, video, software and documents.

On the occasion of the anniversary, the organization will hold a series of thematic events during October – from open lectures to discussions about digital memory and the role of archiving in the fight against misinformation. Internet Archive also plans to present new tools that will make it easy to search and access to historical versions of sites.

Wayback Machine is a key source for researchers, journalists and human rights activists who use an archive to check facts and restore missing content. According to the organization, last year alone, users have made more than 800 billion requests for the archive.

Internet Archive initiator, Burster Kale, has repeatedly emphasized that the purpose of the project was to create a “library of the entire Internet” and to retain the digital heritage of mankind.
