A non-profit library of millions of free books, movies, software, music, websites, and more
The Internet Archive, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, is building a digital library of Internet sites and other cultural artifacts in digital form. Like a paper library, we provide free access to researchers, historians, scholars, the print disabled, and the general public. Our mission is to provide Universal Access to All Knowledge.
- Anyone with a free account can upload media to the Internet Archive. We work with thousands of partners globally to save copies of their work into special collections.
- Because we are a library, we pay special attention to books.
- We began a program to digitize books in 2005 and today we scan 1,000 books per day in 28 locations around the world.
- Books published prior to 1923 are available for download, and hundreds of thousands of modern books can be borrowed through our Open Library site.
