Listen to the fascinating history of the Wayback Machine and Archive.org

Imagine having a library of everything, where all published works of humankind are available permanently. The Wayback Machine and Archive.org are digital versions of that concept.

In this podcast, join Kim as she talks with Brewster Kahle, founder of the Wayback Machine and Archive.org, a free online digital library that has been archiving web pages since the mid-1990s.

After earning a fortune by selling technologies to AOL and Amazon, Kahle set out on a mission to create an archive of web content so anyone can access it for free and without barriers. Think about what you’d like to go back and find online — there’s a way. Plus, find out how you can contribute your family’s history to the archive of the internet.

The easiest way to listen is to click or tap the play button on the player at the beginning of this article. Just leave the window open while you go about other business in your day.

Bonus: It’s 2019, and that means there is a whole new crop of movies, music and literature that have become public domain. You can access all these free media published in 1923 and use it however you desire — sell it, alter it, edit it however you want. Or just watch it and enjoy it for free. Click or tap to start getting all these free media today.
