We've been getting a lot of questions about how the Internet Archive digitizes books.
The short answer: page by page, by hand.
You may remember our viral 2021 video of Eliza Zhang scanning a book. That's still how we do it.

Nearly half of recorded history lives on fragile 78rpm discs. 🎙️🎶
From music and comedy to speeches & firsthand accounts of world events, these recordings transformed what future generations could know about the past.
For decades, 78rpm records were how people shared performance, culture, and ideas across the globe. 🎺🎷
George Blood explains why preserving them matters.

The U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Loving v. Virginia struck down bans on interracial marriage and affirmed the constitutional right to marry.
The filings reveal the real-world consequences of those laws, including criminal penalties, forced separation, and loss of legal protections tied to marriage.
Those filings are now available in #SCOTUS records & briefs on the Internet Archive through a gift from the Wolf Law Library at William & Mary Law School.

RIP Ask Jeeves. The natural-language search engine founded in 1996 was rebranded as Ask in 2006, and officially shut down on May 1.
Here are the Wayback Machine’s first and last captures of the site.
When websites disappear, the historical record can disappear with them. The #WaybackMachine preserves that history – capturing the web so its past remains accessible.

🎉 Welcome to the Public Domain, BLONDIE (1930) 💄📰
👒 Before suburban life with Dagwood, Blondie debuted as a carefree flapper in Chic Young’s comic strip. Her early adventures focused on attempts to win the blessing of Dagwood's snooty, rich family, a far cry from the domestic icon she’d later become.
Blondie’s maiden name, Boopadoop, nods to the “boop-a-doop” singing fad of the 1920s–’30s.🎶

Congrats “RHAPSODY, REIMAGINED” by Andrea Hale 🎶 First Place winner of the Internet Archive’s 2026 Public Domain Film Remix Contest 🥇
A dazzling reimagining of King of Jazz (1930) set to Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue. Treating image as modular rather than linear, Hale builds a kaleidoscope of dancers, musicians, and deco sherbet-colored office scenes!
