Marc Weber

Marc started the Computer History Museum's Internet History Program as Founding Curator and is currently developing the Networking and Mobile sections of the Museum's upcoming signature exhibit opening in 2010. 

In 2006, prior to his work with the Museum, he co-founded the Web History Center whose 12 members include Stanford, the Internet Archive, SRI, and SLAC.

Marc and co-founder Kevin Hughes brought together most central pioneers at the 1997 international Web conference with the first Web History event plus a major temporary exhibit. Other large events co-organized by Marc include a follow up program at the 2007 international Web conference, and a panel on the 30th anniversary of when the ARPANET became the Internet.

Marc pioneered Web history as a topic starting in early 1995. His initial investigations as a journalist became the Web History Project, which assembled the first archive of early Web materials and interviewed over 80 key figures with crucial help from the Web's main inventor Sir Tim Berners Lee and colleagues.

Marc has been interviewed on Web history topics by major media from CBS to American Public Radio’s "Marketplace", presented at international conferences, consulted for patent cases and served as an advisor to documentaries from the History and Discovery channels.

Marc is an award-winning technology writer and journalist. He has consulted on technology topics since 1987 and has been author or editor of four how-to guides for computer consultants.

Marc holds bachelors degrees in Neurobiology and in Creative Writing (with Honors) from Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island.
