The Electronic Whole Earth Catalog is a very early CD-ROM presentation of The Whole Earth Catalog. Utilising HyperCard, The Electronic Whole Earth Catalog consists of over 9000 cards connected to one another with hypertext; essentially the web before the web existed, but offline!
This emulated-in-browser item contains a 430MB disk image so please be patient while it downloads. Once the emulation has booted, open the Whole Earth Catalog folder and double click "Home" to launch.

Works in another emulator web app
If you want to work with the locally downloaded .img file, it seems to work ok on Infinite Mac - https://infinitemac.org . Specifically, the (default?) 1999 or 2000 Mac OS 9.0. Once it boots, drag the .img file onto it, and it will show up as a CD on the virtual desktop.

Cannot open on Windows 10 - Help!
Hi I've downloaded both 430 MB files. When I try to mount the file in Windows 10, I get a "disk image file corrupted" message. How can I view this? Please help. Thanks.

Don't understand how to open on a PC
Hi I've downloaded both 430 MB files, click on them, I just get a "disk image file corrupted" message. I suspect it is trying to tell me that I need some other software to open the .img files. I'm using Windows 10. How do I get to view this, or is it for Macs only? Tks

A fun journey to the Mac and Whole Earth past
Once loaded put in full-screen for best effect. This is a fabulous emulator and reminder of how great the WEC was. Some of the things you find you may wish were available today.
