Internet Archive: Digital Library of Free & Borrowable Books, Movies, Music & Wayback Machine Skip to main content See what's new with book lending at the Internet Archive Can You Chip In? In 2020 the Internet Archive has seen unprecedented use—and we need your help. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, our bandwidth demand skyrocketed. Right now we’re getting over 1.5 million daily unique visitors and storing more than 70 petabytes of data. We build and maintain all our own systems, but we don’t charge for access, sell user information, or run ads. Instead, we rely on individual generosity to fund our infrastructure; we're powered by donations averaging $32. Right now, we have a 2-to-1 Matching Gift Campaign, tripling the impact of every donation. If each of our users gave just $5, we could end this fundraiser today—so if you find all these bits and bytes useful, please pitch in. —Brewster Kahle, Founder, Internet Archive Continue Maybe later Send me an email reminder Email address (required) Please enter a valid email address.
