The Memento Project aims to make it possible to go to a site (say CNN.com) and ask to see the front page as of a certain date. This is to be "seamless access to archived Web resources"
Mentions an archive for BBC News - people do work at things like this.
There are a few demos to try but they do take time to run. This is extremely rudimentary.
It lists support from Library of Congress and a couple of US universities. But will it really receive the funds to create a truly navigatable web archive? And can it be retroactive or is it to be from this time onward?
