TechCrunch: The Wayback Machine debuts a new plug-in designed to fix the internet’s broken links problem. “Automattic says that its new plug-in works by scanning your WordPress posts for outbound links, then cross-referencing the Wayback Machine for archived versions of those links. If there are none, it will automatically take new snapshots of the articles in question. Should a linked web […]

Internet Archive Blog: Follow the Changes: 9 Ways Web Archives are Used in Digital Investigations. “In this piece we draw on the Internet Archive’s News Stories collection to surface practices and use cultures of the Wayback Machine amongst journalists and media organisations. We analysed a dataset of about 8,600 news articles, assembled by the IA via daily Google News keyword searches since […]

Democracy? What Democracy? It's all about the old mighty cold dollar... ->

"When the World Wide Web went live in the early 1990s, its founders hoped it would be a space for anyone to share information and collaborate. But today, the free and open web is shrinking.

The Internet Archive has been recording the history of the internet and making it available to the public through its Wayback Machine since 1996. Now, some of the world’s biggest news outlets are blocking the archive’s access to their pages.

Major publishers – including The Guardian, The New York Times, the Financial Times, and USA Today – have confirmed they’re ending the Internet Archive’s access to their content.

While publishers say they support the archive’s preservation mission, they argue unrestricted access creates unintended consequences, exposing journalism to AI crawlers and members of the public trying to skirt their paywalls.

Yet, publishers don’t simply want to lock out AI crawlers. Rather, they want to sell their content to data-hungry tech companies. Their back catalogues of news, books and other media have become a hot commodity as data to train AI systems.

RE: fedi.simonwillison.net/@simon/

I have been thinking for quite some time that we need a decentralized network for preserving public domain works. The #InternetArchive is important, but they are one single American organization and thus vulnerable (and the fact that they are playing fast and loose with copyright sometimes doesn't help). We need to spread those works out more.

Link rot is an increasing issue on the Web, leading to inaccessible sites and broken links. To address this, Automattic and the Internet Archive have launched the free Internet Archive Wayback Machine Link Fixer plugin for WordPress. This tool scans websites, preserves content, and redirects users to archived versions of missing pages.

This image captures the vast, distinctive interior of the **Bibliotheca Alexandrina** (Library of Alexandria) in Egypt. The photo is taken from a high vantage point, looking down across the library's massive main reading room. Here are the key visual elements: ### **Architecture and Structure** * **The Roof:** The most striking feature is the high, slanted glass-paneled roof. The skylights are angled specifically to allow distinct beams of northern sunlight to enter the building without damaging the books with direct glare. * **Columns:** Tall, slender concrete columns support the roof. They feature flared, lotus-flower-inspired capitals (tops), a nod to ancient Egyptian architecture. * **Cascading Levels:** The floor plan consists of a series of terraced levels that cascade down like a giant amphitheater. This design creates a continuous, open space without distinct floor dividers, allowing visibility across the entire hall. ### **Interior Layout** * **Study Areas:** The terraces are lined with rows of wooden desks. Many of these are equipped with computer terminals, while others are set up for reading. * **Bookshelves:** Blocks of low-profile bookshelves are arranged systematically on the various levels, integrated directly into the study spaces. * **Flooring:** The floors are covered in polished light wood (likely oak), which adds warmth to the vast concrete and glass structure. ### **Atmosphere and Lighting** * **Scale:** Small figures of people scattered throughout the l

The Long Now of the Web: Inside the Internet Archive’s Fight Against Forgetting | HackerNoon hackernoon.com/the-long-now-o… #AI #InternetArchive #WaybackMachine #history #preservation

Generative Al and Fair Use I emailed Brewser Kahle regarding 2025 and generative Al, and here is his quote: "Generative Al has caused some web sites to pursue dollar signs by block their sites or launch lawsuits. This does not help the cultural heritage institutions, such as the Internet Archive and often hurts users in general. The web seems to have turned much more adversarial as many pursue monetization. The Internet Archive will stay free and open to try to help people get a handle on our changing world. The Archive offers open datasets for Al researchers and companies to leverage for their services. As an organization the Internet Archive has been using generative Al tools to help speed metadata assignment and scanning activities."As we move deeper into the 21st century, the Internet Archive stands as a paradox. It is a technological behemoth, operating at a scale that rivals Silicon Valley giants, yet it is housed in a church and run by librarians. It is a fragile institution, battered by lawsuits and budget constraints, yet it is also the most robust memory bank humanity has ever built.
