At the Internet Archive, we’re celebrating the power of libraries to transform lives and communities during this year’s National Library Week (April 7-13, 2024). From preserving the past to shaping the future, libraries are vital hubs of knowledge, connection, and inspiration.
To mark this special week, we’re shining a spotlight on our incredible admin team. They work tirelessly behind the scenes, ensuring our events and virtual spaces are welcoming to all members of our global community.
Join us in thanking them for their dedication and hard work! Watch the video to meet the faces behind the scenes and learn more about how we strive to make knowledge accessible to everyone, everywhere.

Thank you for posting this! Behind-the-screens videos are a good medium to get people to look at Internet-based groups like IA in a new and different way.
It is very easy to overlook all of the jobs that have to be carried out in the Real World to keep things up and running. I hope this video will help people to better appreciate that the IA is not merely a collection of servers, but a group of dedicated individuals who work together on a mission of keeping knowledge flowing freely to all who seek it.
