🏛️ Government websites can change or disappear overnight, taking public records with them. 🕳️

That’s why libraries have collaborated on the End of Term Web Archive since 2004, preserving U.S. government websites at every presidential transition.

📚 The latest crawl captured petabytes of material, including 2 million videos, helping preserve the public record for future generations.

The End of Term Web Archive is Democracy’s Library in action.

📚 What looks like the work of a solitary author can actually be the product of a system.

In BIG FICTION, author & Emory professor Dan Sinykin argues that books are often shaped by a much larger industrial system: agents, editors, marketers, wholesalers & others whose decisions can affect the words on the page.

Hear Sinykin in conversation with humanities scholar Ted Underwood on the Future Knowledge podcast.

The history of television is also a history of preservation.

In VANISHING CULTURE, media historian Taylor Cole Miller examines the rise and disappearance of the pioneering DuMont Television Network 📺, whose innovations helped shape modern broadcasting even as much of its archive vanished. 🕳️ The essay highlights why preserving media history remains essential for researchers, creators, and the public alike.

🤖 Long before personal computers became commonplace, people were fascinated by the idea of machines that could think, talk, and act on their own.

From ELIZA to Little Computer People, early software used clever programming to create the illusion of intelligence, personality, and autonomy.

Our new Vintage Artificial Intelligence collection brings together emulated software from the 1970s–90s that explored what it might be like to have a machine that thinks.
