About

Celebrate the Wayback Machine & other Internet Archive tools that help us preserve, explore, share, and build knowledge together. Democracy invites participation; democracies require it. At the Internet Archive, we believe libraries can help make that participation possible by preserving knowledge and providing the tools to explore and build upon it. This year’s annual celebration, “Democracy’s Library: Tools for Participation,” will showcase the many ways people can participate through the Internet Archive: from saving and contributing materials to exploring government records, researching history, and building new tools with our collections and APIs. We’ll also spotlight partners and creators who are building on top of the Internet Archive’s data and infrastructure, demonstrating how shared library resources can become a foundation for discovery and collaboration. In person and via livestream, we’ll explore what happens when a library doesn’t just preserve knowledge, but gives people the tools to use it, build with it, and participate in creating what comes next. Celebrate with the Internet Archive! This year's celebration is a hybrid event. This registration is for in-person attendance at 300 Funston Avenue in San Francisco. Choose a virtual ticket to celebrate with us from afar!
