Archive.org Is Awesome!



The Internet Archive is a non profit that is building a digital library of Internet sites and other cultural artifacts in digital form. Like a paper library, they provide free access to researchers, historians, scholars, and the general public.

I really enjoy using the Live Music Archive. You can also download the music for free!

Another area that I love to access is the LibriVox portion of the archive. You can listen and download free audio books from the LibriVox collection. LibriVox volunteers record chapters of books in the public domain and release them for free on the Internet. Their goal is to make all public domain books available as free audio books. LibriVox is a totally volunteer, open source, free content, public domain project.

If you are an educator, there are loads of resources on the archive, including all kinds of videos, historical documents, college lectures. If you are interested in accessing an older version of the web, you can always visit the webarchive.
