Sharing from Internet Archive: “Much of BET’s digital journalism is no longer available on the web Internet Archive has preserved more than 199,000 BET articles over the years. They can now be accessed through the Wayback Machine & a new pilot explorer: wayback-labs.sf.archive.org/bet-explorer/

Daniel Rasmus, a futurist at San Diego Comic-Con mapped four futures for public libraries in 2036. One of them: access to knowledge behind licences and identity checks. He pointed to Our Future Memory as the flashpoint. Comics readers got it straight away. www.internetarchive.eu/nl/2026/08/3...

Search finds topic overlap. Wikipedia needs evidential support. At #Wikimania2026 we demoed Archive Citation Sources: 1 billion candidate claims from 43.9 million open access articles, matched to what Wikipedia paragraphs actually say. www.internetarchive.eu/2026/08/03/m... #webarchiving #openaccess

"Lock the web open." That was Brewster Kahle's message at DWeb Camp 2026 in Berlin. An open web isn't a given, it has to be built, protected, and sustained. Our latest blog reflects on why that matters for digital preservation and the future of online memory. www.internetarchive.eu/2026/07/17/l...

Another beautiful day at @getdweb.net camp. Started off the conference by Daniel Erasmus giving a great lecture on ClimateGPT and PublicAI.

Thursday at @getdweb.net camp started off with a great conversation about distributed protocols @dholms.at ATProto & @dustyweb.bsky.social ActivityPub moderated by @bmann.ca Later @brewster.kahle.org debuted @onionpress.org There were so many awesome talks and presentations & chill forest baths.

Send us your projects and ideas!

Beautiful first day at @getdweb.net camp at Alte Hölle. Excited for the following days .

Excited for DWeb in Germany this week.

We hosted @aittalam.bsky.social and TOTO and the @mozilla.ai in Amsterdam to discuss owning your AI stack instead of renting it. One moment: an open source agent used the Wayback Machine to verify a source. Web history isn't nostalgia—it's infrastructure. www.internetarchive.eu/2026/07/06/m...

Today I was privileged to attend a powerful presentation by @ifightforbooks.bsky.social at @kb.nl wearing my @internetarchive.eu hat. Thank you for your time and for tirelessly working to support freedom of access to information.

A copyright exception you can't use isn't really an exception. That's the core of our input to the EU copyright review: close the gap between what the law lets libraries and archives do and what they can do in practice. www.internetarchive.eu/2026/07/01/r... #digitalpreservation #openaccess

It looks quite empty… Don’t worry, it will be full of life and excitement in one week! 🔥

The Schedule of DWeb Camp 2026 is out 🎉 We received an unprecedented amount of proposals for this year. Our incredible track curators and our scheduling team worked hard to accept as many as possible. ➡️ Here is the long-awaited schedule ⬅️ ⚠️ Expect changes: we are still ironing out details.

Who decides what gets remembered? On 9 June we hosted the Data CARE Festival Fellows at our Amsterdam space for a panel on archives, AI, and whose knowledge gets encoded. More on our blog: www.internetarchive.eu/2026/06/24/w... #digitalpreservation #openaccess

Most of the Renaissance has never been read. Around 90% of Renaissance Latin has never been translated into a modern language. Source Library is helping change that, making thousands of historical works accessible to readers worldwide. Read more: www.internetarchive.eu/2026/06/17/m... #OpenAccess

Where your data lives matters. We've moved our Bluesky account to a European Personal Data Server hosted by Eurosky. Same profile, same content, different infrastructure. A small step towards a more decentralized, resilient, and publicly accountable web. www.internetarchive.eu/2026/06/12/b...

Today is International Archives Day. As publishers block the Wayback Machine over AI concerns, 250+ journalists are urging them to reconsider. Preserving the public record matters. www.internetarchive.eu/2026/06/09/t... Sign: savethearchive.com/NewsLeaders #ArchivesForJustice

Maps are infrastructure too At a recent Internet Archive Europe workshop, we explored how OpenStreetMap and MapLibre are building open, community-governed alternatives to proprietary mapping platforms. Who decides what stays visible, preserved, and accessible? www.internetarchive.eu/2026/06/08/m...

For anyone building new apps and tools on ATproto that are … 🌐 on the Open Web 🌱 past the prototype stage ✨ reimagining the social internet New_ Public, @publicspaces.net and @waag.org are investing up to €10,000 in alternatives to Big Tech Learn more, share, or apply by May 1st newpublic.org/OSA

This piece is fantastic @masnick.com ! I kept nodding along more and more. Bravo. Come to Germany next month for @getdweb.net Camp to continue to build the decentralized web. This year it's in Europe instead of Cali because... reasons...

We had a great borrel meetup with Open State Foundation. Looking forward to deepening our partnership.

@knowledgerights21.org has signed the Our Future Memory Statement. "Nearly three decades later, the law has not caught up." Add your voice: ourfuturememory.org. Read the KR21 Library Action Plan: knowledgerights21.org/library-acti... www.internetarchive.eu/2026/06/01/l...

Two events in Amsterdam last Friday. One asked us to grieve the networks we've lost. The other marked 15 years of open government. Both asked the same question: who decides what gets remembered? www.internetarchive.eu/2026/05/27/r...

Interested in learning how to work with open data and maps online? Come by this evening to the workshop on Open Street Map and MapLibre.

I am co-hosting the workshop Take control of your Maps! Create, host and share your own maps with OpenStreetMap and MapLibre at @internetarchive.eu next Tuesday May 19 at 18:30. We will be tinkering with interesting and exciting tools, join us! Free attendance, RSVP required.

The UK's Libraries and Archives Copyright Alliance has signed the Our Future Memory Statement. When the main copyright advocacy body for UK libraries and archives adds its name, that means something. Blog: www.internetarchive.eu/2026/05/12/t... www.ourfuturememory.org #ProtectOurFutureMemory

Thirty years ago, Brewster Kahle founded the Internet Archive with an ambitious goal: Universal Access to All Knowledge. Today, that mission continues to grow with an exciting new chapter: the launch of the Internet Archive Switzerland, a non-profit foundation based in St. Gallen. Congrats!

"Make things as open as possible." Librarian Chris Freeland explains why Internet Archive's new book, VANISHING CULTURE, is both free to read online & available to purchase in print. It’s not either/or—it’s and. Open access helps preserve culture. 📚 ⤵️ archive.org/details/vani...

Digital memory is not a given (someone has to fight for it). 🏛️ Brewster Kahle from Internet Archive Europe joined the Facebook Museum opening to discuss public infrastructure and protocols that enable users to own their data. www.internetarchive.eu/2026/04/16/d... #DWeb #DigitalPreservation

People make fun of government agencies for still being on Flickr but photos produced by the government are copyright-free and I have yet to see a better photo-centric platform for delivering higher resolution photos that anyone can easily download.

Ready to take off at NextNature Museum for the Facebook Museum opening! Congratulations to Set Up in Utrecht for making this happen.
