Palestine Online is a collection of web pages created by Palestinians (and friends), primarily in the late 90s and early 00s, sourced from the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine. Included here are personal homepages, news websites and online magazines, sites showcasing Palestinian art and culture, and online memorials.

Many of the pages here were created during or close to the Second Intifada, and demonstrate the overlooked yet rich early history of Palestinian internet presence, tracing the World Wide Web as a crucial tool for resistance, connection, and expression that has given Palestinians an unprecedented platform under ongoing occupation. Even though the internet has since drastically changed in size, structure, and appearance, the stories, statements, and immense pride, love, and anger in these pages mirror what is found on modern platforms today.

Additionally, Palestine Online poses the question of how we engage in preservation of the digital space, which has become a primary commons for oppressed and silenced peoples around the world to make themselves heard, but at the same time is troubled by an ephemerality and constantly shifting form that risks plunging these voices back into obscurity.
