Pioneering Internet Archivists Brewster Kahle and Rick Prelinger on
Preservation in the Digital Age
Internet archivists Brewster Kahle and Rick Prelinger discuss their efforts
to build both a physical and digital library of every book ever published.
"The idea is we can build a Library of Alexandria version two," says Kahle.
"It costs us about 10 cents a page, or about $30 a book, to photograph and
then make it accessible and searchable for anybody." The archivists also
discuss their home movie project. "Home movies are astonishing, because
they’re personal, not corporate, expression," says Prelinger. "They’re
individuals witnessing history, not simply great events, but also history
everyday life." The movies are being contributed by families and rescued
from estate sales, among other sources. [includes rush transcript]
