Users will be able to access 10 billion web pages dating back to 1996 when the concept of the project originated. The site was designed to support libraries role "to preserve society's cultural artifacts and to provide access to them. If libraries are to continue to foster education and scholarship in this era of digital technology, it's essential for them to extend those functions into the digital world".
