Celebrate ONLINE with the Internet Archive as we highlight the vital role of libraries in preserving our shared digital culture.

Celebrate with the Internet Archive this October

Join the Internet Archive this October to celebrate a once-in-a-generation milestone: 1 trillion web pages archived.

<p>In a world where major entertainment websites vanish overnight and streaming media disappears from platforms without warning, our digital culture is at risk of being erased. What safeguards are in place to preserve our collective memory?</p><p>Join us October 23rd for the Internet Archive's annual celebration. This year’s gathering, “Escaping the Memory Hole,” explores the vital role that libraries play in protecting our digital heritage. As corporate decision-makers increasingly control what stays online, libraries like the Internet Archive stand as guardians of our shared digital culture, ensuring that it remains preserved and accessible for future generations.</p>
