Brewster Kahle Trying to Archive Everything

Sep 10, 2008 | |

  

  Brewster Kahle is an inventor, philanthropist and digital librarian.  If you are not familiar with Archive.com, the idea is to archive the entire web.  He is now trying to capture every book, every movie and anything else he can digitize.  Archive.com is the webs digital archive of all sites past and preset.  It keeps all of the past websites and then digitizes them. For example, you can go to their site and lookup Apple’s website back to 2000 and see the webpages the way they were back then. Now you will be able to do the same for information about movies and all books as well.  Hope he has a large server to hold all this information and everything in the future.
