internetarchiveAs the Wayback Machine approaches 1 trillion archived web pages this October, we want your help picking memorable ones to highlight.
Reply with your favorite pages to nominate them for the spotlight.
Yohan Yukiya Sese Cuneta 사요한🦣@internetarchive I nominate https://ii.com or https://web.archive.org/web/19970416021854/http://www.ii.com/
It is the oldest domain name I've encountered. I discovered the site a few years ago because through #GoHugo @gohugoio , a hidden gem.
Linh Pham@internetarchive A bit of a personal one, but the first time my Wait Wait Stats Page has been captured by the Wayback Machine in November 2007 (the site launched in July 2007)
https://web.archive.org/web/20071102152753/http://closedsrc.org/_apps/waitwaitstats/
@internetarchive Then the first captured at it's newer home of wwdt.me.
https://web.archive.org/web/20120227232619/https://wwdt.me/stats
Then, the first capture at it's current home of stats.wwdt.me

PypeBros@internetarchive that would be https://web.archive.org/web/20030205212837/http://www.ojuice.net/ for me ... (although it seems to be missing a few pictures to look complete)

Adam Onza@internetarchive South Bay #Crochet Origami Hot Pad pattern! It was designed by a retired scientist Ed Barrall II. I've made a number of them, and thanks to the internet archive, I can still share the link. https://web.archive.org/web/20130219074312/http://www.baycrochet.com/patorig.htm

...which has been taken over by the #CIA!👮
The original is still there, though, thanks to your awesome work! ❤️

Ishkur's guide to electronic music!!! https://web.archive.org/web/20071118083704/http://techno.org/electronic-music-guide/
Some time ago someone posted some sort of slise show that would emulate some real dinosaur pages, featuring one of the earliest versions of Ishkur's, does anyone still have the link by any chance? This page really is a life's work
Edit: FOUND IT https://neal.fun/internet-artifacts/

One that has survived decades in nearly unchanged form would be NASA's "Astronomy Picture of the Day",
http://apod.nasa.gov
It is archived from 1997 to 2025, although with redirects to different URLs.
The oldest image I could find was of June 16, 1995

Reinout van Schouwen@internetarchive
That would be https://web.archive.org/web/19961228050925/http://greenpeace.org/ for the sole reason that I vividly remember it being the first webpage rendered on my PC in IBM WebExplorer for OS/2 after I finally figured out how to configure the proxy server.

Angela Scholder@reinouts @internetarchive Yeah! OS/2 2.1 .... Loved it.
Zekovski 🧣@internetarchive
Every french engineer uses this site to test their internet connection. It has been so for decades now.
Olivier Mengué@Zekovski Première fois que je vois ce site.
Rihards Olups@internetarchive Everybody’s so mature and serious, but the real internet was very much all over the place.
Goatse is something that I don’t want to visit but has to be preserved.
Himmelssohn@internetarchive
I remember learning a lot from weissgarnix.de back in the days

P Segal@internetarchive It hardly counts to suggest your own site, but my zine, Proust Said That, has been online since August 1994. It started as proust.com, but I lost the domain name when I forgot to renew it
FloThe first archived page of #Doona, an ethical search engine, pioneer in this category (before #Lilo, #Qwant Causes, #Ecosia and even #Ecogine):
https://web.archive.org/web/20060716160244/http://assodoona.free.fr:80/
Of course, the following captures showing the evolution of the service up to the last capture (March 15, 2014) with the link to the announcement (PDF also archived) of the board looking for a new, more available team, are just as interesting :

Aurelian Dumanovschi@internetarchive I'm fond of old flash websites. I remember 2advanced.com as being one of the coolest websites https://web.archive.org/web/20040402002116/http://2advanced.com/flashindex.htm
Le Crestois 🗞️ 
@internetarchive
Favorite page: the former #LeCrestois website, back in 2004. There wasn't much content, but it was very animated! 😄
https://web.archive.org/web/20041021181143/http://www.le-crestois.fr/
Now: the same web address, with all the content added since the pandemic.
https://web.archive.org/web/20250711113842/https://le-crestois.fr/
Joyce Markoll@internetarchive It should have been the one archive left of https://web.archive.org/web/20060616085645/http://www.copinesdegeek.com/ but I can't even get to display the content in my web browsers (Firefox and Chromium).
The original first site was incredibly fun and beautiful (about geek's girl-friends, and with lots of pink and hearts!)
