Internet Archive

Amazing site: Internet Archive

The Internet Archive is building a digital library of Internet sites and other cultural artifacts in digital form. Like a paper library, we provide free access to researchers, historians, scholars, and the general public.

I have used the "Wayback Machine" in the past to view cnn.com and msnbc.com as they appeared during 9/11/2001 (cnn.com first 9/11/01 view, the site was updated many times during that day).

Lately I have enjoyed downloading concerts such as the Grateful Dead, Bruce Hornsby, and Pat Methany to name a few.

Just found out that the Internet Archive is also archiving music as well. Listening to this Grateful Dead show right now: Grateful Dead: 1979-08-05.
