Biography:
Brewster Kahle is a founder of the Internet Archive in April 1996. Before that, he was the inventor of the Wide Area Information Servers (WAIS) system in 1989 and founded WAIS Inc in 1992. WAIS helped bring commercial and government agencies onto the Internet by selling Internet publishing tools and production services to companies such as Encyclopaedia Britannica, New York Times, and the Government Printing Office.
Schooled at MIT (BSEE ’82), Brewster designed super computers in the 80’s at Thinking Machines Corporation.
Every day, people around the world use the Internet Archive to learn, research, and discover. Aadarsh Pathak, a scholar in India, called the Internet Archive “a guardian of our collective digital heritage” in a recent note. His words inspire us—and we’d love to hear yours as we celebrate 1 trillion web pages archived.
I am writing to you as a research scholar to express my profound gratitude for your visionary creation, the Internet Archive. It is not merely a digital library; for academics like myself, it is an indispensable and unparalleled resource.
Your incredible project has preserved countless historical documents, books, and web materials that would have otherwise been lost to time. The ability to access primary sources, trace the evolution of ideas through archived web pages, and find rare texts has been absolutely critical to the depth and authenticity of my research. The Wayback Machine, in particular, has often been my last resort for retrieving crucial online information that has disappeared from the live web.
The Internet Archive is more than just a tool it is a guardian of our collective digital heritage and a powerful democratizing force for knowledge. Your contribution to education, research, and the open access movement is truly monumental and an inspiration to us all.
