Internet Archive, Wayback Machine, and relevance to politics
The '''Internet Archive''' is an "online [[library]]" containing various [[public domain]] and [[Creative Commons]] downloads with [[culture]] being the primary focus. Early 78 RPM records,<ref>http://www.archive.org/details/78rpm</ref> [[Grateful Dead]] concerts,<ref>http://www.archive.org/details/GratefulDead</ref> and the Wayback Machine are notable features of the site.
==Wayback Machine==
The Internet Archive operates the Wayback Machine, a caching service. Named after a recurring segment of the [[Rocky & Bullwinkle]] cartoon,<ref>http://www.archive.org/about/faqs.php</ref> the Wayback Machine stores copies of Internet sites indexed by date. A Web site owner may opt-out of this caching through use of a "robots.txt" file or by request.<ref>http://www.archive.org/about/faqs.php</ref>
The Wayback Machine has been used in the past to expose the past activity of politicians, including issues relating to [[9/11 conspiracy theories]], [[Barack Obama]]'s involvement with a [[socialist]] party,<ref>http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2008/10/021724.php</ref><ref>http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2008/10/021747.php</ref> and the [[Barack Obama birthplace controversy]]<ref>http://thepostnemail.wordpress.com/2009/10/14/ap-declares-obama-kenyan-born/</ref>
