Welcome!
Brachio is an experimental online research catalog of library websites selected from the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine. It provides longitudinal, visual access to historical versions of Library websites.
This site is a work in progress. Please take everything here with a grain of salt. I'm still filling in data. Most data is pre-2022.
Please visit Libraries to browse.
Featured Websites
University of Illinois at Chicago
I work at the UIC Library, maintaining this website.
Please note, that due to a lack of data post-2021, the current UIC Library website is not represented. The most recent one here is old, somewhat broken, and gave my web scraper fits.
University of Michigan Library
The University of Michigan is my alma mater, so I feel I can pick on them a little.
Princeton University Library
The Code4Lib conference this year is in Princeton, NJ.
