Allowed by the Danish Legal Deposit Law the Royal Danish Library systematically collected parts of the Danish internet in a growing archive.

The Netarchive holds for example articles and comments from digital Medias and a long range of other digital sources, which is a part of the Danish cultural heritage. 

The internet is living and volatile. We know that hyperlinks have short expiration dates, and in the future much material will only exist in a digital format. So there is good reason to start using the Netarchive now. 

The Netarchive holds more than 28 billion objects. It is mainly html-files, but there are also 5.5 billion images and a lot more (see below):

html : 18.079.088.025

image : 5.693.388.731

other : 3.849.685.328

text : 709.180.536

pdf : 93.904.368

audio : 7.955.787

video : 6.938.566

The access to the Netarchive is through either OpenWayback, where you enter a specific URL, which then would be shown on different periods, or BlackLight, where you enter a simple text search and get a list of results for those. Focused work is done on developing a third access option, SolrWayback, and that would provide an even way to search the Netarchive.
