Today we launch our End-of-Year Campaign. Once a year, I ask all of you to keep the Internet Archive going and growing stronger. Please help us reach our goal of raising $1.5 million by the end of the year. Your support will help pay for servers, bandwidth and our dedicated staff.
I founded the Internet Archive as a non-profit with a huge goal: to give everyone access to all knowledge—the books, web pages, audio, television and software of our shared human culture. Forever.

Lan Zhu, a scanner at Internet Archive, at the Table Top Scribe. Zhu can scan a 300-page book in thirty minutes. Since 2005, the Internet Archive has digitized over 2.4 million books.
Together we are building the digital library of the future. A place where we can all go to learn and explore.
At the Internet Archive, we’ve preserved 430 billion web pages. People download 20 million books on our site each month. We get more visitors in a year than most libraries do in a lifetime. The key is to keep improving—and to keep it free. That’s where you can help us.
For the cost of buying a book, you can make a book permanently available for the next generation. Please consider donating $10, $25, $50 or whatever you can afford to support the Internet Archive before the end of this year. It’s is a small amount to inform millions. Help us do more. I promise you, it’s money well spent.
Thank you,

I donated with Bitcoin today for the first time! Thanks Archive!
Hi,
Great Work, thanks. Archive.org is the only place that makes ebooks availible legaly and free on the net. I will donate something.
Thank you, wendy for donating! And bitcoin has been useful to the archive as our employee’s have the option to take bitcoin as part of their pay.

hello,
Thanks for all the good work. I think it would be a good idea to have a dogecoin address alongside bitcoin… Dogecoin was started as a joke and the creators never thought the meme would become so popular… And i think Dogecoin would really benefit you because all those shibes like myself, are more community driven and i’m sure if you started a thread on http://reddit.com/r/dogecoin , lots of shibes would support your work and donate some Doge…. Many thanks…Much respect…Good lick!!
I donate too, never done anything before, except for a good cause.
Thanks to you Mr. Brewster, (and your team) I could finalize my studies in to Humanities at the university…
Definetly my favourite page ever. Long life to Archive, the Babel’s library!
gave 5 bucks, not much but better than anything right? :+)
thank you…!
I am often in position to tell my partners about how big the Internet is. And I like to use the expression “hundred billion pages”. Glad to see the confirmation. I’ll go for donation.
As long as I can find National-Socialist literature on the Internet Archive I will certainly keep donating.
I have a question: Will it ever be possible to Google the archived pages inside the Waybackmachine?
thank you
Donated. Being a PhD student I actually can’t donate anything so I decided not to buy myself food for a day and donate this money to a site I couldn’t imagine living without.
I love this site. I will gladly donate before the end of this month DV.
I was glad to donate a small amount today to do my part to ensure this archive continues strong. We are very happy to be in partnership with Archive.org and share the vision that basic knowledge including religious should be free for everyone.
I’ll keep scanning and uploading. I have several books and films that I am about to upload. Wish me luck
