www.archive.org.
They have been archiving tons of websites since 1996. You can put a URL
and it can take you back as far as 1996 (as long as it is archived) and
look at its contents! This is amazing as a lot of companies are gone and
I can look at their websites and grab information from it.
It is indeed an excellent resource, and indespensible for future research
of the web. It is exactly the sort of project I would undertake if I had
the time and resources, so I'm glad someone else is doing it, and quite
competently.

Bummer: http://www.digital.com is not available per request of the
owner. If everyone can retract information from the archive, it
ends up beeing worth very little.

Very cool! I actually ended up making use of this last night.
Unfortunatly the it looks like they don't have working search engines of
the sites, as I was trying to search for some datasheets, still it looks to
be a very valuable tool.
OTOH, I must confess to being very disappointed over their 'Arpanet
Collection'. They've got it in some wierd 'DjVu' format that requires
you
to download a plugin. While they claim Mac support I couldn't get it to
work on my Mac (it looks like they've got thier site misconfigured). I
tried from XP and it worked, however, I discovered that all those juicy
looking documents and books are only a couple pages in a lot of cases :^(
