Reconstruction of the US First Website

Abstract

The Web idea started on 1989 with a proposal from Sir Tim Berners-Lee. The first US website has been developed at SLAC on 1991. This early version of the Web and the subsequent updates until 1998 have been preserved by SLAC archive and history office for many years. In this paper, we discuss the strategy and techniques to reconstruct this early website and make it available through Stanford Web Archive Portal.
