The Internet Archive is Now Going Analog

The Internet Archive has recently launched a new project. It’s no longer saving just a digital copy of books and websites; now it’s archiving paper books as well.

The Internet Archive has opened its first physical archive and it’s located outside in Richmond, California. At the archive, books are processed, catalogued, boxes, and packed into climate controlled 40′ long shipping containers. The IA launched this effort because it was watching some libraries throw away paper books after they’d been digitized.
