Overview

The Space Jam website was published as an online promotional companion to the 1996 Warner Bros. film Space Jam.

The website contains information and promotional material associated with the film presented through a collection of themed pages. Its visual language reflects conventions of commercial World Wide Web publishing during the mid-1990s, including image-based navigation, patterned backgrounds, compact page layouts, and graphics designed specifically for web presentation.

Unlike many promotional websites created for contemporary films and commercial campaigns, the historical Space Jam website remained publicly accessible long after the period for which it was originally produced.

Its continued availability consequently provides evidence not only of the film’s early online promotion but also of the design, structure, and technical conventions employed by commercial websites during the expansion of the public Web in the 1990s.

Object Scope

For catalogue purposes, the Bureau treats the historical promotional website associated with the 1996 film as the Digital Object represented by this record.

The record does not encompass the film itself, later Space Jam productions, subsequent promotional websites, or the wider online presence of Warner Bros.

This distinction is particularly important where later web services or redesigned websites occupy related domains. Continued association with the same franchise or rights holder does not by itself establish continuity with the historical Digital Object.

Preservation Note

The historical Space Jam website remains publicly accessible and retains the characteristic visual presentation and navigational structure associated with its original period of publication.

The Bureau records the website as an active legacy site preserved in situ. This designation reflects the continued availability of the historical web object rather than an institutional reconstruction of a discontinued website.

The designation does not imply that every underlying server, network component, protocol configuration, or hosting environment remains technically identical to that used in 1996.

The object is maintained under routine observation by the Office of Digital Preservation.
