I'm constantly amazed at Archive.org's Wayback Machine, I find myself relying upon it more and more to dig up historical aspects of the web. For example, just today I found the archive of issue #3 of indieWIRE from July 17, 1996, the first edition that we archived at filmmag.com (link goes to the Feb 1997 archive, a later and more complete archive was made in April 1999). But then alot of what is old on the Web is essentially the forebearer of today -- when people ask me what a blog is, one of the best examples I can point to is from 1998-1999 (an archive of Doug Block's Homepage journal from April 1999). Ok, it wasn't called a "weblog" or a "blog" until years later, but the core of "informal voice" and "shared diary" was the heart of a lot of the Web artists we worked with in that era. Much of it is gone now, except for the Wayback Machine (such as our "group blog" coverage of the Hong Kong handover in 1997, something that even I can only get from Archive.org). The fact that they are now applying that archiving to public domain moving image, including features like "Night of the Living Dead" and propoganda films like "Reefer Madness" is significant for the future.
