Its founders, [[Brewster Kahle]] and [[Bruce Gilliat]], developed the Wayback Machine to provide "universal access to all knowledge" by preserving archived copies of defunct web pages.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Kahle |first=Brewster |date=2005-11-23 |title=Universal Access to all Knowledge |url=https://archive.org/details/SDForumBK |archive-date=2022-08-14 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220814164546/https://archive.org/details/SDForumBK |access-date=2022-06-05 |website=[[Internet Archive]]}}</ref>
