Find the oldest website you can still access

Unnecessary · Use what you have · Easy

Go hunting for web pages that have survived far longer than anyone expected. Look for signs of age in the design, language and links, then enjoy the digital archaeology.

Do it

  1. Start with early web directories, archives or personal pages.
  2. Check whether the page is live rather than merely archived.
  3. Look for dates in the page, source or linked material.
  4. Follow a few old links to see what still works.
  5. Save your best find with its URL and access date.

What next?

Keep the useful notes, photograph the result if there is one, then go and find something else to do.
