As some of you might have discovered when creating your Chronologies, the first website (and thus the birth of the world wide web) went live in 1991 lead by the WWW team at CERN.
CERN, recognizing the importance of preserving the first website, has initiated a project to restore "the world's first website."
So far the earliest copy of the site that team members have been able to find dates back to 1992, and as of yesterday it has gone live at the original URL: http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html
Take a minute to look at a piece of history that has had a major impact on the past 20 years of LIS technology.
