>I much prefer this to losing this information/history fully.

Edit: Fair enough but I Still maintain my option on the site's poor design.

These are not pulled from some random website. These are actual internal archives donated from Nokia (well Microsoft Mobile Oy these days)

https://nokiadesignarchive.aalto.fi/about.html

> The Nokia Design Archive is a graphic and interactive portal designed by researchers from Aalto University in Finland. It currently hosts over 700 entries, curated from thousands of items donated by Microsoft Mobile Oy and representing over 20 years of Nokia’s design history — both seen and unseen. You can freely explore the archive, learn about designers’ experiences working in Nokia and discover interesting topics surrounding design and mobile technologies.

You can look at the uncurated collection at aalto university repo https://repo.aalto.fi/index.php?name=SO_b66a9391-dcf8-4399-8... (not sure if all of the materials digitized/online though)

How exactly would wayback machine allow you to have a collection of related items and their connection to each other?

How do you go from e.g. Vision 99 (if you manage to find it in Wayback machine) to all related entires? https://nokiadesignarchive.aalto.fi/?node=C0027

    By using HyperLinks, embedded in your HyperText document written in HyperText Markup Language, that was sent to your terminal using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol.

    This is all 1960s era concepts.

    Literally any wiki style site will be a perfect fit to serve this content.

      Yup, linking millions of documents that you are required to sift through to combine the information you need

      And does wayback machine have this "any wiki"?

      Meanwhile the site in question is literally the wiki with hyperlinks you're talking about
