The Airship has uncovered the first White House website created by the Clinton administration in 1994, showing the American public "how far" the Internet has progressed.
Built by the Clinton administration in the heady days of 1994, when 56K was a godsend and America Online was still relevant, this debut White House website has been preserved in all its former clipart-and-rainbow-line-break glory by the Clinton Presidential Library.
But like any archeological site in ongoing excavation, the first White House website is a delicate quagmire of artifacts (18-second MPG montages) and dead ends (broken links), so allow us to give you a guided tour of what was presumably the U.S. government’s first official online presence.
The website is preserved by the Clinton Presidential Library to provide historical material that can no longer be updated due to broken links and inactive websites.
