Integrating global geography with the Stony Brook campus is the objective of the GeoTool.

An InternetArchiveTool.
Since 1996, the Internet Archive has stored billions of web pages and
allows the global historian to research the ever changing Web. Check
it out. Literature about the technoscientific development of the Internet
is available, but the present and past content of the Web is mostly
unknown — this tool allows you to retrieve the digital record
of the Web. |
