Gopher is an internet protocol for text and multimedia. URIs that reference gopher documents start with gopher://
The Firefox browser supports gopher. Dedicated gopher browsers include mkgopher and forg for Linux.
Gopher was created at the University of Minnesota in 1991. (The school's mascot is a gopher.) Two early search engines were developed to search gopher servers: Veronica and Jughead.
Gopher has a strict hierarchy system. It originally supported text only, but has been expanded to support images and other filetypes.
