About the Project

The Internet Archive runs dozens of projects, including: the Wayback Machine, a repository of 475 billion web pages; OpenLibrary.org, a free, digital lending library of over 4.6 million eBooks; Software Collections, designed to preserve and provide access to rare or difficult to find software titles that enable gamers to play them through emulation; and Community Webs, which trains, supports, and provides web archiving resources to public librarians at institutions across the U.S. and Canada. The Internet Archive also hosts the Filecoin Archives, a community-led project to curate, disseminate and preserve important open access to information often at risk of being lost. Filecoin Foundation's contribution to the Internet Archive advances the mission of both organizations to preserve humanity's most valuable information and improve access to information online.
