Thank you for delving deeper into this great resource. Putting your picture on the site from the beginning is nice. I know that wasn't the point of the video, but seeing various Leos over time was very entertaining.

As you mentioned in the beginning, it's not just websites that are covered. It includes all kinds of digitized media. Censorship isn't the only reason things may disappear from the archive. If they receive a complaint from the copyright holder, they will remove it. One of the rights of copyright holders is to have NO copies available.

I doubt if it has an archive of 1969 when I was an Alpha tester for the ARPANET here in Vancouver, BC. They brought a Telex machine to our High school & hooked up a telephone handset using an acoustic modem to send an 'email' to SFU in nearby Burnaby, BC. So the Internet is actually 53 yrs old. Enjoy all your videos.

Who has captured all the websites and where have they been stored? I had deleted some features from my site a few years ago, thinking that they were really deleted.

I can't find anything on "Benny Goodman" or "Jazz" in Internet Archives. When i insert these titles in the search bar, the answer is always: "Sorry, but nothing matched your search terms. Please try again with some different keywords."
How can that be? Nothing on these subjects?
