🎉 To mark the 30th anniversary of the @InternetArchive on May 10, we’re opening the yearbook to revisit the Class of 1996; the sites & organizations that helped shape the early web.

Join us in the coming days as we celebrate THE CLASS OF '96 🎓

His passion continues to inspire us all as we work to fulfill his mission.
