30-year Anniversary of the World Wide Web

Sir Tim Berners-Lee, Inventor of the World Wide Web in 1989,  unified the world’s largest physics laboratory, CERN, was a stockpile of ideas and information stored on multiple incompatible computers and linked information across different computers and platforms. His Proposal in March 1989 called “ Information Management : A Proposal”. By 1991 his vision of universal connectivity had become the World Wide Web.

The first website at CERN and in the world was dedicated to the World Wide Web project itself and was hosted on Sir Berners-Lee’s NeXT computer. In 2013, CERN launched a project to restore this first ever website: Info.cern.ch.
