Update:   We Launched!

Everyone is welcome to the open-house and launch of the new Physical Archive of the Internet Archive in Richmond, California on Sunday June 5th from 4-8pm.

sustainable long-term preservation of physical books records and
movies, we are starting with over 300,000 books and gearing up
for millions.

Then, invest an hour with us on a Sunday – Drinks, food, good people.

What you will see:

  • A high density, modular system for storing books, video and audio
