The Wayback Machine is an online archive of the internet, created by the Internet Archive. It allows users to access archived versions of websites from the past, providing a historical record of the development of the internet.
The Wayback Machine works by crawling and indexing web pages from the internet, and then storing them on its servers. Users can search for archived websites by entering a URL and selecting a date from a calendar of archived dates.
If an archived version of the website is available for that date, it will be displayed, and users can browse through the archived version of the website, including its text, images, and links.
