Abstract
One of the deficiencies of the World Wide Web is that the Web does not have a memory. Web resources always display one revision
only, namely the latest one. In addition, once a Web resource moves from one location (i.e., URL) to another, the resource
at the original location ceases to exist.
Since the Web does not provide a mechanism to allow access to the revision history of resources, services like the Internet
Archive have sprung into action to collect the history of important Web resources. The Web way-back machine described here,
currently under development by the author, utilizes collections of historical Web resources like the ones provided by the
Internet Archive to allow online, read-only access to the revisioned resources.
