About This Cause
MISSION STATEMENT: Started in 1996 the Internet Archive is a non-profit library dedicated to preserving physical and digital materials and providing free public access to knowledge. DETAILS OF ACTIVITIES: The organization stores 15 petabytes of digital content as well as several hundred thousand physical books, films, LPs, and other types of media. The digital content includes archival copies of web pages, texts, audio, moving images and software. Internet Archive works with hundreds of partners, including the Library of Congress, the Smithsonian, and many national, state, and local libraries and agencies to create digital representations of physical materials and make that content more broadly available to the public. It also helps organizations to archive web pages relevant to their missions. Additionally Internet Archive works to serve the information needs of blind or reading disabled people. As of 2013, Internet Archive provides free access to the following collections via archive.org: • 366 billion archived web pages dating from 1996 to the present • 5.5 million texts, plus 1 million texts available only to the reading disabled (available via openlibrary.org) • 1 million movies and videos, plus 490,000 search-able and quotable television news programs • 1 million audio recordings These collections are used by 3.5 million people each day.
