Field notes
The page organizes its pitch into numbered “rooms,” with a visible sample featuring Apple, Google, and Yahoo alongside year labels and “Open” controls. A separate section lists subjects such as GeoCities, Flash, hit counters, and old SaaS pricing pages, but labels them “In the works.” The project describes the Internet Archive as its source of preservation and its own role as choosing which moments merit an exhibit.
