Donate for the Internet Archive (Wayback Machine)

Posted on 2019-12-03 by guenni

The Internet Archive (Wayback-Machine) archives websites – and digitizes books. Currently, 384 billion websites (60 petabytes) have been archived before being forgotten (because websites are deleted). 150 employees worldwide keep the project going. Currently, donations are being collected to keep the archive running and a 2-1-campaign is underway in which each donation is tripled . A donation of 5 $ becomes 15 $. Because my blog profits from the Internet archive (I can redirect broken external links to the archived copies) I just made a donation. If someone would like to support the project as well, you can find the details under the link above.
