The Internet Archive, Trying to Encompass All Creation - NYTimes.com

Brewster Kahle is a librarian by training and temperament. In the
mid-1990s, when many saw the nascent World Wide Web as a place to sell
things, he saw it as data that cried out to be preserved and cataloged.
Later, he widened his scope to include material — film, books, music — that
was not native to the web but could be digitally gathered there.

By most standards, Mr. Kahle has been pretty successful. The Internet
Archive <https://archive.org/> serves from two to three million visitors a
day with such tools as the Wayback Machine, which provides snapshots of 435
billion Web pages saved over time. The archive has seven million texts (you
could call them books), 2.1 million audio recordings, and 1.8 million
videos. It is an immense library.
