The name Wayback Machine was chosen as a reference to the "WABAC machine" (pronounced way-back), a fictional time-traveling device used by the characters Mister Peabody and Sherman in The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show, an animated cartoon. This website is useful if you have found a domain name you want that's up for sale at auction, for example at, NameCheap Domain Auctions. You can then research archived webpages of this particular domain name through Wayback Machine. Using the Wayback Machine you can get detailed information of webpages from a particular year or even when the webpage was first created. The Wayback Machine began archiving web pages in 1996, with the goal of making the service public five years later. From 1996 to 2001, the information was kept on digital tape, with Kahle occasionally allowing researchers to tap into the database. When the archive reached its fifth anniversary in 2001, it was unveiled and opened to the public in a ceremony held at the University of California, Berkeley, by this time the Wayback Machine had already contained over 10 billion archived pages. In January 2013, the company announced a ground-breaking milestone of 240 billion URLs. In October 2013, the company announced the "Save a Page" feature,  which allows any Internet user to archive the contents of a URL. This became a threat of abuse by the service for hosting malicious binaries As of December 2014, the Wayback Machine contained 435 billion web pages—almost nine petabytes of data, and was growing at about 20 terabytes a week.

As of July 2016, the Wayback Machine reportedly contained around 15 petabytes of data.

As of September 2018, the Wayback Machine contained over 25 petabytes of data.

From its public launch in 2001, the Wayback Machine has been studied by scholars both for the ways it stores and collects data as well as for the actual pages contained in its archive. As of 2013, scholars had written about 350 articles on the Wayback Machine, mostly from the information technology, library science, and social science fields. Social science scholars have used the Wayback Machine to analyze how the development of websites from the mid-1990s to the present has affected the company's growth.

When the Wayback Machine archives a page, it usually includes most of the hyperlinks, keeping those links active when they just as easily could have been broken by the Internet's instability. Researchers in India studied the effectiveness of the Wayback Machine's ability to save hyperlinks in online scholarly publications and found that it saved slightly more than half of them.

Wayback Information can be found at wikipedia.
