Sharing Linda Ronstadt

[the Scribe]

Here is one of my "go to" links when Ronstadt videos disappear from youtube and other USA online sites.

This is Ronstadt at a glance and might have many videos some of you have never seen or thought were gone for good.

I happened upon this site while searching for something else as is often the case. There is an abundance of Ronstadt material archived here. Lots to explore and talk about if so inclined.

About the Internet Archive

The Internet Archive, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, is building a digital library of Internet sites and other cultural artifacts in digital form. Like a paper library, we provide free access to researchers, historians, scholars, the print disabled, and the general public. Our mission is to provide Universal Access to All Knowledge.

We began in 1996 by archiving the Internet itself, a medium that was just beginning to grow in use. Like newspapers, the content published on the web was ephemeral - but unlike newspapers, no one was saving it. Today we have 20+ years of web history accessible through the Wayback Machine and we work with 450+ library and other partners through our Archive-It program to identify important web pages.

As our web archive grew, so did our commitment to providing digital versions of other published works. Today our archive contains:
•279 billion web pages
•11 million books and texts
•4 million audio recordings (including 160,000 live concerts)
•3 million videos (including 1 million Television News programs)
•1 million images
•100,000 software programs

Anyone with a free account can upload media to the Internet Archive. We work with thousands of partners globally to save copies of their work into special collections.

Because we are a library, we pay special attention to books. Not everyone has access to a public or academic library with a good collection, so to provide universal access we need to provide digital versions of books. We began a program to digitize books in 2005 and today we scan 1,000 books per day in 28 locations around the world. Books published prior to 1923 are available for download, and hundreds of thousands of modern books can be borrowed through our Open Library site. Some of our digitized books are only available to the print disabled.

Like the Internet, television is also an ephemeral medium. We began archiving television programs in late 2000, and our first public TV project was an archive of TV news surrounding the events of September 11, 2001. In 2009 we began to make selected U.S. television news broadcasts searchable by captions in our TV News Archive. This service allows researchers and the public to use television as a citable and sharable reference.

The Internet Archive serves millions of people each day and is one of the top 300 web sites in the world. A single copy of the Internet Archive library collection occupies 30+ Petabytes of server space (and we store at least 2 copies of everything). We are funded through donations, grants, and by providing web archiving and book digitization services for our partners. As with most libraries we value the privacy of our patrons, so we avoid keeping the IP (Internet Protocol) addresses of our readers and offer our site in https (secure) protocol.

You can find information about our projects on our blog (including important announcements), contact us, buy swag in our store, and follow us on Twitter and Facebook. Welcome to the library!

Internet Archive Projects

Political TV Ad Archive politicaladarchive.org/
The Political TV Ad Archive is a project that provides a searchable, viewable, and shareable online archive of 2016 political TV ads, married with fact-checking and reporting citizens can trust. In partnership with trusted journalism organizations, the archive provides a free service for journalists, civic organizations, academics and the general public to track these ads in context. The first phase of the project, covering key 2016 primary elections, was funded by a $200,000 grant from the Knight News Challenge, an initiative of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. The Challenge was a collaboration joined by the Rita Allen Foundation, the Democracy Fund, and the Hewlett Foundation. The Democracy Fund also granted $49,634 to support joint trainings of journalists in key primary states in partnership with the American Press Institute. Additional support came from personal donations from Christopher Buck ($25,000) and Craig Newmark ($20,000). Project staff are gathering lessons learned, which will inform planning and fundraising for the second phase of the project: tracking political ads in key 2016 general election battleground states.

Building Libraries Together archive.org/scanning
The Internet Archive is one of the world's largest public digital libraries, with an extensive collection of human culture: 2 million books, 430 billion Web pages, 3 million hours of television and more. However, the archive's users upload only a small percentage of these materials and to preserve the world's knowledge the public should be encouraged to contribute. The archive is embarking on a project to make the archive.org site more community-driven by improving the tools that allow people to upload, describe and organize items. With these new tools, the Internet Archive hopes to democratize knowledge by giving global communities the ability to save, manage and share their cultural treasures for free. What Wikimedia did for encyclopedia articles, the Internet Archive hopes to do for collections of media: give people the tools to build library collections together and make them accessible to everyone. The project is supported by a $600,000 grant from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation.

Open Library openlibrary.org/
OpenLibrary.org is comprised of two great parts! A free, digital lending library of over 2 million eBooks that can be read in a browser or downloaded for reading off-line. And, a unique project to build one web page for every book ever published. Over 20 million books already have a page on OpenLibrary.org

Please participate in the building of this site. It is an Open project - the software is open, the data is open, the documentation is open, and the site is open. Anyone can participate in this project, whether you're a librarian who wants to add records of digitized books to her local catalog, or you're a lover of books who wants to make sure his favorites are well represented, or you just want to find a good book to read for free, or you're a programmer who wants to build something new on top of this data.

The goal was to make a storage system that was low power, high density, easy to scale and maintain, and low cost. PetaBoxes are now in use at major academic institutions and government agencies. The Internet Archive houses more than 10 petabytes of PetaBox storage technology and is expanding steadily.
