From its humble beginnings at CERN, the World Wide Web has come a long way since it was first invented in 1989. It wasn’t long after that I got to experience it myself, and yet, there are several sites from the 90s still running today.

Established in September 1954 in Geneva, Switzerland, CERN is the European Organization for Nuclear Research. It also houses the world’s largest particle physics laboratory.

CERN’s website is the first in the world, and therefore, the oldest website online. The site was actually created by Sir Tim Berners-Lee in 1989 while he was working on the World Wide Web at CERN. Visit the page to view a live, recreated version of the original CERN website.

As the name implies, the World Wide Web Virtual Library was a virtual information resource on several subjects. As one of the early 90s websites, it is the world’s first index of content anywhere on the World Wide Web.

It was also developed by Tim Berners-Lee in 1991. To this day, the website is still up and running and retains its original look, although it was last updated in February 2017.

I love fan sites. There’s nothing sweeter than seeing someone really passionate about a book, movie, or show and want to create a site dedicated to loving it. DrgnSlyr’s Star Trek: The Ultimate Links is one such site.

It features a bunch of Star Trek resources, like the cast of every series (stopping at Enterprise), pictures of ships, and episode lists. You’ll also find a few pages that encapsulate what it was like using the internet back in the 90s through DrgnSlyr’s Favorite Links Page.

Just like ALIWEB, Webcrawler.com was launched in 1994. It was also the first search engine to provide full-text search and is one of the oldest examples of a search engine.

Created by Brian Pinkerton, Webcrawler.com is a more robust search engine than ALIWEB, but still not comparable to the likes of Google and Bing. The website still gives off that unforgettable 90s vibe.

The Exploratorium is a popular museum of art, science, and technology located in Piers 15 and 17 in San Francisco. It was founded by Frank Oppenheimer and was opened in 1969 at the Palace of Fine Arts.

One of the first museums to go online and now one of the oldest websites on the internet, the Exploratorium has undergone a total facelift and now features a modern, intuitive website design.

Maybe webcams aren’t as impressive now as they once were, but try to place yourself in the 90s when the internet wasn’t what it is today, and webcams were still finding their footing. So, enter the San Francisco FogCam, which has been running since 1994. It’s a year younger than me!

The FogCam snaps a photo of the San Francisco University every 20 seconds. And, well, its resolution is a measly 320 by 200 pixels. For comparison, 4K has nearly 8.3 million pixels while the San Francisco FogCam has only 64,000 pixels. Even today’s cheapest smartphones take better photos.

As of 1993, there were only a handful of websites available worldwide. Later that year, Bloomberg would join the ranks of innovative companies that owned a corporate website.

Founded in 1981, Bloomberg went online in 1993, and to this day, it remains online using its website as one of its outlets to provide financial, software, and other enterprise services.

arXiv, pronounced archive, is an online distribution service that allows you to freely access more than 2 million scholarly articles in the fields of computer science, economics, electrical engineering and systems science, mathematics, physics, quantitative biology, quantitative finance, and statistics.

Launched on August 14, 1991, arXiv is one of the oldest websites still online. Powered by Cornell University, arXiv allows authors to submit their academic works for free. Similarly to Wikipedia, it also welcomes donations from members of the public and organizations to help maintain the site.

The Internet Movie Database began as a fan-run movie database on the “rec.arts.movies” Usenet group. An early 90s website, it is now one of the largest online databases of up-to-date information about films, cast and crew, and so on.

The original IMDb website was launched in 1993 during the early days of the internet and was hosted by the computer science department of Cardiff University, Wales. IMDb is now an Amazon company and features a modern website design.

While I was in pull-ups, President Clinton and Senator Bob Dole were racing against one another to be the next president of the US. Ultimately, Bill Clinton was re-elected. However, you can still visit Bob Dole’s campaign site. It’s a neat slice of American history, considering most links still work.

There are press releases, speeches, and even an update that mentions the results of the election. It’s too bad the commercials aren’t available anymore, but you can still read the synopsis for each one. I bet you could find the campaign commercials on YouTube, though.
