@brewsterkahle The #InternetArchive is the most important site on the Internet. They have been saving almost every webpage since the 90s to preserve the history of the web. Remember #Angelfire? #Geocities? They do.
And they have much more. Millions of old videos, including the #PrelingerArchive of old PSAs and industrial films. The "Duck and Cover" ads from the 50s are my favorite, with a cartoon turtle who teaches kids how to hide under their desk in a nuclear attack.
They have every book scanned by the #Gutenberg Project. They have 16,000 #GratefulDead shows donated by the band. They have in-browser #emulation of game systems from the #Atari2600 to the #Playstation, and computers like the #C64, #AppleII, and 80s #Mac. They even have a growing library of #Elon's deleted tweets, preserved for history.
An easy way to donate: I set them up as my #Amazon Smile charity at smile.amazon.com. Now when I buy anything, Amazon donates 0.5% of my purchase to them.
Donate! History will thank you.
