The Internet Archive is a nonprofit library founded to gather knowledge in digital formats and make it available to everyone in the world for free. As part of the Internet Archive’s mission of “Universal Access to All Knowledge,” we have spent years building up collections of books, web pages, TV, movies, radio, concerts, etc. But 40+ million objects can be a daunting library to navigate.
This video will focus on:
An overview of some major collections on archive.org and how to use them
Tips for how to efficiently find what you’re looking for
Pointers for where to find more information on your own
Make sure you’re ready to take notes, there’s a lot of information to share!
