Your service is extraordinary necessary

Want to hear programs I’ve missed on KPFA Radio, especially Democracy Now!
KBCA was a Los Angeles radio station in my youth. Just being able to hear a program broadcast again is a rare, but welcome treat to me.
Dear Internet Archive, I have been using this service for years and found all the classic scientific work from the leading scientists of the 20th century. I could not have found these books anywhere else, not even big university libraries. Excellent efforts, –Farooq
A small gift can go a long way if everyone does so.
For some extremely obscure but historically whatsapp lead important publications, I can now download, thanks to you and similar digitising archives, a digital copy straight to my computer from Melbourne, Australia. Only a decade or two ago, I would have needed to locate one of the few copies that exists, travel to the library in which the copy was held, and sit in a reading room taking notes, or taking one-off photocopies, still not keyword searchable. Thanks so much. –Kale
I believe knowledge needs to be preserved, and shared. Censorship whether it is by government, corporations or individuals, through legislation, fascist threats or economic censorship (ie youtube) is a detriment to all humankind. — TD
I get both pleasure and (sometimes) insight from being able to read texts from the original editions, where the visual impact of the content is what the author most probably intended. One cannot get this in any other way, apart from the very occasional good luck to be given (or to purchase) old editions. The Internet Archive is a wonderful resource.
