The Internet archive is one of the greatest resources we currently have on the Internet. It would be nothing. Short of a tragedy is not allowed to exist. Anyone who uses it, understands its immense value. I had to find archives of my mother’s work in the 60s. Fortunately, the radio station she worked for trusted their archive to the Internet archive. Finding her work was easy, just as going to a research library would be. This is a research resource and should be used as such. Dont take away knowledge for learning! Isn’t that what we’re all fighting right now?
Great post. Re the Internet Archive- this seems like a great topic for Deborah and James Fallows. Their book Our Towns is in part an ode to the local library.
