Its called the Wayback Machine of Internet Archive. You might be wondering as to what purpose is served in archiving the ever changing content of the web. The huge of amount of data gathered by the wayback machine is used as a documented library of the web. The information is freely available to general public who want to access the historical collection of data that has been collected over the years in digital form.
