Internet Archive Projects

BookServer

The BookServer project provides an open architecture for vending, lending and distributing books over the Internet. Built on open standards, the BookServer model allows a wide network of publishers, booksellers, libraries, and other parties to make their catalogs of books available directly to readers through their laptops, phones, netbooks, or dedicated reading devices.


Open Library

One web page for every book ever published.

Over 20 million books already have a page on OpenLibrary.org, and over 1 million of those give you access to a full-text, downloadable version.

Please participate in the building of this site. It is an Open project - the software is open, the data is open, the documentation is open, and the site is open. Anyone can participate in this project, whether you're a librarian who wants to add records of digitized books to her local catalog, or you're a lover of books who wants to make sure his favorites are well represented, or you just want to find a good book to read for free, or you're a programmer who wants to build something new on top of this data.




Wayback Machine

Internet Archive's web archive, launched in 1996, contains over 2 petabytes of data compressed, or 150+ billion web captures, including content from every top-level domain, 200+ million web sites, and over 40 languages.




Archive-It

Archive-It, a subscription service from the Internet Archive, allows institutions to build and preserve collections of born digital content. Through our user-friendly web application, Archive-It partners can harvest, scope, catalog, manage, and browse their archived collections. Collections are hosted at the Internet Archive data center and are accessible through Url and full-text search.

Over 110 partners currently use Archive-It, including state archives and libraries, university libraries, federal institutions, museums, and public libraries.




Scanning Services

Internet Archive can digitize your collections and provide open and free access, permanent storage, unlimited downloads, and lifetime file management. Internet Archive has scanned more than 200 million pages with partners ranging from the Library of Congress and the Smithsonian to New York Public Library, Harvard, and MIT.




NASA Images

NASA Images was created through a partnership between NASA and the Internet Archive to bring public access to NASA's image, video, and audio collections. NASAImages.org is the largest collection of NASA media available from a single, searchable site.

The site contains everything from classic photos to educational programming and HD video, and is growing all the time as we continue to gain both new and archived media from all of NASA's centers.

Through the development of nasaimages.org we hope to promote education and facilitate scholarship in the math and sciences at all levels, and to build general interest and excitement around space exploration, aeronautics, and astronomy.




Open Content Alliance

The Open Content Alliance (OCA) is a collaborative effort of a group of cultural, technology, nonprofit, and governmental organizations from around the world that helps build a permanent archive of multilingual digitized text and multimedia material. An archive of contributed material is available on the Internet Archive site and through Yahoo! and other search engines and sites.




Education

Open Education Resources library containing hundreds of free courses, video lectures, and supplemental materials from universities in the United States and China.




Bookmobile

The Bookmobile is a mobile digital library capable of downloading public domain books from the Internet via satellite and printing them anytime, anywhere, for anyone. The Bookmobile has travelled across the United States, and versions of it have been built and used in Egypt and Uganda.




SFLan

SFLan is a project to provide community wireless Internet at low or no cost. The project has evolved greatly since its inception in 1997, and currently works with the City and County of San Francisco to provide free, high speed internet to low income San Francisco residents.




Petabox

The PetaBox(tm) was custom-designed by Internet Archive staff to safely store and process one petabyte (a million gigabytes) of information. The goal was to make a storage system that was low power, high density, co-location friendly, easy to scale and maintain, and low cost. Capricorn Technologies was spun off to produce PetaBoxes, and the technology is now used by major academic institutions, government agencies, storage repositories, and others. The Internet Archive data center houses more than 3 petabytes of PetaBox storage technology and is expanding steadily.




301Works.org

301Works.org is an independent service for archiving URL mappings. The goal of the service is to provide protection for every day users of short URL services by providing transparency and permanence of their mappings.
