Like a paper library, we provide free access to researchers, historians, scholars, the print disabled, and the general public."Founded in 1996 and located in San Francisco, the Archive has been receiving data donations from Alexa Internet and others. In late 1999, the organization started to grow to include more well-rounded collections. Now the Internet Archive includes texts, audio, moving images, and software as well as archived web pages in our collections, and provides specialized services for adaptive reading and information access for the blind and other persons with disabilities.They are trying to make a modern Library of Alexandria.http://archive.org/details/messmameHas someone made a deal to allow these out to the masses?Update: Along with CHDs - http://archive.org/search.php?query=collection%3Amessmame&sort=-publicdate Quote

naborneo Posted July 12, 2013 Author Posted July 12, 2013 Ive never heard of the site but, i'll def check it out. Thanks for the share.It has beautiful old photography. You can use the "Way Back Machine" and see what (for example) amazon.com looked like 10 years. Also what I mostly use it for, are live recordings of concerts. People will plug into the sound board at a show and then upload the lossless audio to the site. Great for indie bands. Quote
