On: Ask HN: What is the oldest image online in which the link is not broken?

[pingswept]

As a college student, I helped create this site in, I believe, 1994: http://pynchon.pomona.edu/ I don't know that I really count as an academic, but I think the site has survived because it's sitting on a university server.

The image links still work.

Unfortunately the mtimes on the images are all 1 Dec 2004. Probably the files all got copied without preserving timestamps.

Edit to add: Sorry, firefox misled me by showing the mtime of the html page when I asked for image info. The images are from 3 Jan 2003.

"Some of the initial work on this page was done by Penny Padgett."

That sounds like a Pynchon character...is she a real person or did Pynchon help you make this site?
