Keep Our Servers Running: Your Recurring Donation Goes 3X This September
The Internet Archive is running a September fundraising campaign to support its server infrastructure and digital library operations. They are offering a 2:1 matching program for recurring monthly donations of $25 or more.
Why it matters
As a primary repository for digital history, the Internet Archive's financial stability is critical for maintaining universal access to information.
“Universal access to all human knowledge is within our grasp. Our job is to put the best our world has to offer within the reach of our children.”
—Brewster Kahle, Internet Archive Digital Librarian
Every time you search the Wayback Machine or explore a collection at the Internet Archive, you are accessing a global library built to put knowledge within reach of curious learners around the world.
The mission of “Universal Access to All Knowledge” is a commitment that goes beyond book scanners and web crawlers. It requires servers, storage, power, cooling, and the people who build and maintain our systems. Our infrastructure is the backbone of our digital library.
The Internet Archive has always been completely free for everyone, everywhere. We don’t charge for access, sell user data, or run ads. Rather than contracting out our core technology to corporations, we build and maintain our own systems.
