I think I recall this website at one point existing at a domain from Bell Labs. I came across it almost 8 years ago searching on Google for a particular number sequence I came across in some research. The website is fascinating and I found myself looking at sequences for hours, amazed by all of the different ones that had been posted. This website is definitely one of the great hidden gems on the Internet.

Sloane kept his collection first on punched cards, then in a “handbook”—A Handbook of Integer Sequences, published in 1973, with the copyright held by Bell Telephone Laboratories, where he started working in 1968. In 1995 he launched an automated email lookup service called Superseeker, whereby the curious submitted sequence queries and the database replied with answers. In 1996 he opened up his repository for public browsing at oeis.org. With the lab’s blessing, Sloane put it up on the research division’s website.
