| The average lifespan of a web page before it's changed, moved, or deleted is a mere 100 days. As digital materials are altered or even removed, we are working hard to provide reliable and verifiable information to anyone who needs it.
Tools like the Wayback Machine play a vital role in the fight to preserve knowledge for all. Journalists can save links to their work, researchers can access original sources, and nostalgic readers can revisit old favorites—ensuring everyone knows the whole story.
However, between political turmoil and bad actors online, preserving the historical record and providing trustworthy information has become a mounting difficulty.
Your support is crucial.
The Internet Archive has always provided our collections at no cost for everyone, everywhere—without charging for access, selling user data, or running ads. Instead, we rely on donations that average $30 to keep our systems running.
If you find our services useful, please consider donating to help us build the web we deserve. We understand if you can't afford to contribute, but I promise it will be well spent if you can. Together, we can continue advancing Universal Access to All Knowledge. |
