Internet Archive

1996 May 12th

To archive various types of digital documents (websites, music, software, video, books, etc.), Brewster Kahle founded a non-profit organization called the Internet Archive. The Internet Archive digital library is currently the largest archive of digital documents in the world. Since 1996, more than 800 billion websites have been stored in the archive (*as of March 2023).
