You've read the headlines. You've probably seen it on your own screens. Most of the websites you use are tracking your every move, recording what you do, and sometimes selling your personal data to the highest bidder.
Not us.
Your privacy is very important to us, so we don't track what you read. We never accept ads that would surveil you. But we still need to pay for all those servers and staff.
If the Wayback Machine disappeared tomorrow, where would you go to find the websites and social media of the past? What would happen to the 11 million broken Wikipedia links we've fixed using the Wayback Machine? We stand with Wikipedians, librarians, and creators to make sure there is enduring access to the world's most trustworthy knowledge—and we need individual Internet users to stand with us.
Isn't it time to support technology you can trust?
The average donation is just $45. Most people don't give, but we hope that you can. If everyone reading this chipped in just $5, we could end this fundraiser today. And right now, you have the power to keep this nonprofit library independent and free for years to come.
If you find our site useful, please consider contributing $5, $10, $25, or whatever you can afford to keep the Internet Archive going strong in 2020. I promise you, it will be money well spent. I know, because I'm a donor, too.
Thank you for helping us reach our goal. We're close and you can power us over the top.
