The Wayback Machine (www.archive.org) gives you access to the Internet Archive, which has taken an almost�complete snapshot of the World Wide Web every 60 days since 1996 � that's about 2 billion pages. This archive is now a vast record, storing pages others have censored, deleted or simply forgotten to maintain.

The database has currently over 100 terabytes. As plain text in book form, that'd be over 3000 miles of shelf space. It is growing at 10 terabytes a month.

Here is New Scientist interview with Wayback's inventor, Brewster Kahle.
