Internet Archive Seeks Emergency Backup - in Canada
The surprise election of Donald Trump as the 45th U.S. president is still sinking in for his supporters, opponents and the rest of the world. Over the next four years, Trump's administration will have vast influence over privacy, surveillance and data security. Fearing the worst, the Internet Archive, a nonprofit organization based in San Francisco, has started a fundraising campaign to set up a replica of its archive in Canada.
Since launching in 1996, the Internet Archive has amassed one of the largest digital archives of publications, movies, software and books. It also runs the Wayback Machine, which saves 300 million web pages per week; it's one of the few services that index screenshots of web pages for posterity. Brewster Kahle, the internet entrepreneur who started the archive, envisioned the project as a way to partially preserve the ever-morphing web.
"At the Internet Archive, we are fighting to protect our readers' privacy in the digital world."
But Kahle believes that the Internet Archive may be threatened by Trump, particularly if he loosens libel laws, giving people greater power to force the removal of material online that they don't like. Accordingly, the Internet Archive is seeking donations to replicate its 20-petabyte archive on Canadian soil in a move that he believes would help shield it from U.S. government influence.
The election was "a firm reminder that institutions like ours, built for the long term, need to design for change," Kahle writes in a blog post.
There's historical precedent for libraries disappearing, Kahle notes, citing Egypt's Library of Alexandria, which was lost to fire in a period of war.
The project to establish a repository called the Internet Archive of Canada would cost millions, he says, but allow the archive to withstand the uncertain political future in the U.S. "For us, it means keeping our cultural materials safe, private and perpetually accessible," he adds. "It means preparing for a web that may face greater restrictions. It means serving patrons in a world in which government surveillance is not going away; indeed it looks like it will increase."
