Field notes
The project frames its browsing method as a curated list plus a Wayback Machine snapshot selected for each discovery, rather than a searchable archive. The page warns that older captures may have missing images, fail to load, or be blocked inside the viewer, and offers an outside-tab option that can depend on popup settings. Its creator says ad revenue helps cover upkeep and support additions to the archive.
