You can now re-visit the first web page ever — built 21 years ago — by directing your browser to the first ever web address.

On Monday, the files for the website were put back online at the first ever URL: http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html .

"For many years, this URL has been dormant, inactive," wrote Dan Noyes, the web manager in the communications group of Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire (CERN), the European organization for nuclear research, where the world wide web was invented.

The web address now links to a page of black text on a white background, briefly describing the world wide web or "W3" project. The text includes hyperlinks to other documents, including an FAQ and web-related software.

Noyes wrote on the blog for CERN's the "Restoring the first website" project that the page is a 1992 copy dug up from the project's archives.
