Internet Archive & The Wayback Machine

The Internet Archive is a comprehensive web-based digital library that continually crawls all public internet pages and archives them. These archived web sites are available for public access through the Wayback Machine search service. The mission of this project is to help the Internet Archive (http://www.archive.org), specifically the Wayback Machine, understand and satisfy the requirements of their growing user base. We will identify users of the Wayback Machine, study user experience and behavior, and finally make recommendations to enhance the user's experience with the Wayback Machine.
