For years, Google’s mission included the *preservation of the past*.

In 2001, Google made their first acquisition, the Deja archives. The
largest collection of Usenet archives, Google relaunched it as *Google
Groups*, supplemented with archived messages going back to 1981.

In 2004, *Google Books* signaled the company’s intention to scan every
known book, partnering with libraries and developing its own book scanner
capable of digitizing 1,000 pages per hour.

In 2006, *Google News Archive* launched, with historical news articles
dating back 200 years. In 2008, they expanded it to include their own
digitization efforts, scanning newspapers that were never online.

"The problems of our economy have occurred not as an outgrowth of
laissez-faire, unbridled competition.
They have occurred under the guidance of federal agencies, and under the
umbrella of federal regulations."
Senator Ted Kennedy, in defending trucking deregulation in 1978.
