The Internet Archive is a 501(c)(3) non-profit founded in 1996 with one goal in mind, to build an Internet library. “Its purposes include offering permanent access for researchers, historians, scholars, people with disabilities, and the general public to historical collections, which exist in digital format.” It is also responsible for the awesome internet time travel device, the Wayback Machine.
