The Many Joys of the Internet Archive (abridged) by Kerri at SCLS

2/19/2018

0 Comments

 

I attended a fun NFLS webinar last week and was reminded all over again about Internet Archive, a "non-profit library of millions of free books, movies, software, music, websites, and more." Have you been there?

Here's just a tiny sampling of what you might find:
  • special performances or albums by your favorite favorite band (mine is the Old 97s: audio, video)
  • declassified CIA documents related to UFO sightings (and another 15,000,000 freely downloadable books and texts)
  • fact-checked clips from TV news shows
  • classic TV commercials
Definitely worth a look around!

The Internet Archive's Wayback Machine also allows you to view more than 310 million webpages saved over time. Run into a dead link? Wonder what a webpage used to look like? Pop it into the Wayback Machine!
