New Archive of .AU Websites Since 1996

[chris]

Last month, the National Library of Australia launched an updated web archive (https://trove.nla.gov.au/website?q=), pulling in data from a few different sources - including "the .au domain collected annually through large scale crawl harvests".

The National Library of Australia has been keeping track of how Australian websites have evolved, snapshotting and archiving websites ending in ".au" since 1996. The resulting archive, which came online this month, shed a light on the good, the bad, and the ugly (mostly the ugly) of late-90s, while keeping a record of what was said and done during the infancy of the internet.

It's pretty good and great to have a local alternative to WayBackMachine. Here's DNTrade as an example.
