AP piece on the Physical Archive of the Internet Archive

Posted on August 2, 2011 by Brewster Kahle

The AP wrote a article and made a video about the physical archive of the Internet Archive.   This is our storage system for millions of books that I wrote about on the Archive Blog.   We hope to expand it to music and movies as well.

Onward!

    What a novel idea! (sorry)
    How can I send a book that I wrote to your physical archive? [This probably will become a FAQ.]

    I heard about your idea to collect a copy of books ever published and this article came to mind: http://www.upi.com/Odd_News/2011/06/07/Weight-of-book-collection-damaging-house/UPI-24131307448095/

    I hope it can be of use.

    Dear Mr. Kahle,

    I am the author of the nonfiction book:
    Letters from Frank: An American Terrorist’s Life and I would like to donate a physical copy for your project that I consider very important.
    I want to spread the word of my written legacy for every generation and this is a great way to share my knowledge with more people.
    I will also be glad to donate an electronic version of my work, so please let me know details where to send it to make my contribution for the readers.

    Sincerely,

    Author Ingrid I. Holm-Garibay

    I saw the article about this in March 4 2012 Sunday’s NYTimes and I found your blog. I am editor of The Philatelic Communicator and, of course, discussion has been intense about how to publish and what to keep. This topic fits well. May I use your blog and photos in our next issue? Thanks.
    Dave
