With the recent news on Slashdot About the First 100 Registered Domain Names, I remembered a website that archived some of the oldest websites on the internet.
The first archive does not reach back to the original date of March 15th 1985 for Symbolics.com, (the first website name ever registered). I would assume that it has something to do with the formation of ICANN in 1998. But give that the World Wide Web was still four years off from the original registration date, I find that fascinating.
While the listed archive doesn't give any SUPER old archive shots, it does give what seems to be the oldest web archived page. This archive is dated Dec, 07, 1998 and can be found here
