Around the World in 2 Billion Pages

Thanks to a generous grant from the Mellon Foundation, Internet Archive completed a 2 billion page web crawl in 2007. This is the largest web crawl attempted by Internet Archive. The project was designed to take a global snapshot of the Web.

Please browse through the resulting collection.

Special thanks to the memory institutions who contributed URLs to the crawl. The crawl began with 18,000 websites from over 60 countries.

Archive-It allows institutions to build and preserve their own web archive of born digital content, through a user friendly web application, without requiring any technical expertise or hosting facilities. Subscribers can harvest, catalog, and archive their collections, and then search and browse the collections when complete. Collections are hosted at the Internet Archive data center, and accessible to the public with full text search.

With the rapid growth of the Internet and the World Wide Web, millions of people have grown accustomed to using these tools as resources to acquire information; and the availability of electronic information is taken for granted. However, it is a fallacy that if something is on the web, it will be there forever. The average lifespan of a web page is 44 -75 days. There's an urgent need for people to understand that that web is who we are. It's our culture and our social fabric, and we don't want to lose any of it. What is here today might be gone tomorrow.

Archive-It is designed to fit the needs of many types of organizations and individuals. The over 65 partners include: state archives, university libraries, federal institutions, state libraries, non government non profits, museums, historians, and independent researchers.

Contact the Archive-It team for more details about subscribing to this service and to learn more about our Curated and Domain Crawl services. Contract Crawls are for large topic, event or domain collections run by Internet Archive crawl engineers at an institutions' request.
