Internet Archive

The Internet Archive is a non-profit library that provides free public access to books, movies, music, and websites. It was founded in 1996 by Brewster Kahle and Bruce Gilliat. The Archive’s mission is to provide permanent access to knowledge and cultural heritage for the public good. It does this by preserving and making accessible digital content, including books, movies, music, and websites. The Archive’s collection includes over 20 million items, including texts, images, and audio and video recordings. The Archive’s services include the Wayback Machine, which allows users to access past versions of websites, and the Open Library, which provides access to over 6 million e-books. The Archive also provides tools for researchers and educators, including the Internet Archive’s API and the Archive’s own search engine.
