"Smile!" Summer vacation used to mean film cameras, limited shots, and the long wait to see how the pix actually turned out. 📸☀️ #Kodak helped define photography, building systems that made memories printable, shareable, and permanent. With digital photography, Kodak slipped from public prominence. But today, film cameras are making a quiet comeback. “Smile!” hits different when every shot counts. Find snapshots of Kodak's web #history on the #WaybackMachine ➡️ https://web.archive.org/web/19960815000000*/kodak.com

Today on International Archives Day, we recognize how institutions like the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) safeguard the nation’s documentary history, ensuring accountability, preserving memory, and maintaining access to records across generations. Just as the NARA preserves a nation’s record, the Wayback Machine preserves the history of its web presence. 🕰️ 💾 Explore decades of #webhistory with the #WaybackMachine: https://web.archive.org #InternationalArchivesDay

News organizations are increasingly blocking the #WaybackMachine even as their reporters still depend on it 📰 In PRESERVING THE WEB IN THE AGE OF AI, @mark@mastodon.archive.org, Director of the Wayback Machine at the #InternetArchive, explains how major newsroom staff rely on archived web history because their internal archives often miss the deeper public record. 🎧 Listen on the Future Knowledge #podcast ⤵️ https://futureknowledge.transistor.fm/episodes/preserving-the-web-in-the-age-of-ai 📚 Read VANISHING CULTURE free ⤵️ https://archive.org/details/vanishing-culture-2026

RIP Ask Jeeves. The natural-language search engine founded in 1996 was rebranded as Ask in 2006, and officially shut down on May 1. Here are the Wayback Machine’s first and last captures of the site. When websites disappear, the historical record can disappear with them. The #WaybackMachine preserves that history – capturing the web so its past remains accessible.
