A resource that I highly encourage you to use and support is the Internet Archive<\/a>. They are a non-profit that has been archiving the Internet since 1996, when public use and sharing of the worldwide web began exploding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We already know that oppressors try to lie, erase and edit history. So we need to capture, document, record, and archive it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are an online library of books, music, publications, movies, software, and more. In addition, they have been archiving the Internet itself. One of my favorite features they have is the Wayback Machine. It allows you to enter a URL or search words of a website and see snapshots of it throughout history. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For instance, this is the whitehouse.gov today, unfortunately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

However, if I use the Wayback Machine, I can rewview at that same URL in past website archives. If I navigate to January 25th, 2012. That day there were nine snapshots taken with the times listed of WhiteHouse.gov.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is what it looked liked on January 25th, 2012.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And below is what it looked like during January 2009.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And if I go way back to some of the earliest snapshots of the website then I come to this one from 1999:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Look at the font they use for welcome to the White House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few other ones for nostalgia\u2019s sake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yahoo 1996, all hyperlinks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NASA 1996:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IMDB 2001:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And even Ask Jeeves 1996:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"

We need to have a remembrance of all of this, of the truth of the way that history happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Support librarians, teachers, educators, documentarians, caretakers, creators, artists, elders, writers, historians and archivists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Support the Internet Archive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oppressors try to erase history so that they can repeat it.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So it is even more vital to seek out and support wisdom protectors and practitioners all around us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
