The Internet Archive (IA) is a non-profit digital library that was founded in 1996. Its mission is to provide universal access to all knowledge by archiving and preserving digital content. The IA's collections include websites, music, movies, books, and software, among others. This vast repository is made possible through the contributions of volunteers, organizations, and institutions that work together to ensure the long-term preservation of digital culture.
