asmag.com marks 29 successful years and opens its archive from the 1990s

The specialized security media asmag.com is celebrating 29 years of operation by looking back at its digital beginnings, from a time when the internet had not yet assumed the role it plays today. To mark the anniversary, the editorial team published an archival view of its very first website, which primarily served as an extension of the print magazine rather than a standalone information channel. Among the content from that period are advertisements and articles such as “1997/98 Hottest Dome Cameras from Japan,” which at the time were available exclusively in the printed edition. This archival snapshot today offers an interesting testimony to the development of the security industry, as well as to the transformation of the media that cover it.

The team at asmag.com notes that the contrast between those early days and today’s global digital platform best illustrates how technology, the industry, and the way information is consumed have changed over nearly three decades.

To mark the anniversary, readers are invited to explore a special “gem” from the asmag.com archive, available at https://lnkd.in/gapRgPnG, while the Internet Archive (archive.org) has preserved additional fascinating records of the early stages of the platform’s online presence, accessible at https://lnkd.in/g4bKyfAF.

The editorial team of a&s Adria extends its sincere congratulations to our colleagues at asmag.com on this valuable milestone, with best wishes for many more successful years of professional reporting and coverage of technological innovation.
