The Internet Archive is a 501(c)(3) non-profit that was founded to build
an Internet library. Its purposes include offering permanent access for
researchers, historians, scholars, people with disabilities, and the
general public to historical collections that exist in digital format.
Founded in 1996 and located in San Francisco, the Archive has been receiving data donations from Alexa Internet
and others. In late 1999, the organization started to grow to include
more well-rounded collections. Now the Internet Archive includes:
texts,
audio,
moving images,
and
software
as well as archived web pages
in our collections, and provides specialized services for adaptive
reading and information access for the blind and other persons with
disabilities.
