Digital memory is ever more important and more difficult to manage.
+
+Advances in computing and communications mean that we can cost-effectively store every book, sound recording, movie, software package, and public Web page ever created, and provide access to these collections via the Internet to students and adults all over the world. By using mostly already-existing institutions and funding sources, we can build this, as well as compensate authors, within the current worldwide library budget. For the first time since the loss of the Library of Alexandria, technological advances may allow us to collect all published knowledge in a similar way. But now, we can take the original goal another step further, to make all the published works of humankind accessible to everyone, no matter where they are in the world.
+
+Will we allow ourselves to reinvent our concept of libraries and archives to expand and to use the new technologies? This is fundamentally a societal and policy issue, and these issues are reflected in our governments’ spending priorities, and in law.

Brewster Kahle

+
Brewster Kahle is a passionate advocate for public Internet access, and a successful entrepreneur, and he has spent his career intent on a singular focus: providing Universal Access to All Knowledge. He is the founder and Digital Librarian of the Internet Archive, one of the largest libraries in the world. Soon after graduating from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he studied artificial intelligence, Kahle helped found the company Thinking Machines, a parallel supercomputer maker. In 1989, Kahle created the Internet's first publishing system, called Wide Area Information Server (WAIS), later selling the company to AOL. In 1996, Kahle co-founded Alexa Internet, which helps catalog the Web, selling it to Amazon.com in 1999. The Internet Archive, which he founded in 1996, now preserves 50 petabytes of data: the books, Web pages, music, television, and software of our cultural heritage, working with more than 600 library and university partners to create a digital library, accessible to all.
