Aug. 9, 1995.

Thanks for the show you highlited too!! My hometown, the year I was born!!

I originally found it through their stash of old needlework magazines and books. Then I discovered that a lot of local histories and old genealogies are available there. Some of the books my mother had to request through inter-library loans and wait for months to see are there and can be downloaded - a few that my grandmother had brochures for but could never afford to order are also there.

I found early copies of Bird Lore magazine that had been bound for university libraries and scanned for Archive.org - my husband's great grandfather was an early contributor to Bird Lore which later became Audobon magazine. He was asked to write an article on photographing birds for the first issue and contributed to the magazine for decades afterwards.

And that is just a small slice of the digital versions of the printed material. They have lots of audio and video that I haven't even looked at!

are fun to listen to. They have the "This is your FBI" entire series of radio shows. https://archive.org/details/thisisyourfbi2

"The 1945-53 officially backed radio series (the first episode includes an appearance by FBI director J. Edgar Hoover) detailing real life cases from the files of the FBI."

I love the archives on the internet, it's like having hundreds of Libraries to browse

You download the item and can keep it. Google Books often only adds it to your "library" so if you are offline you have no access to it. I learned that the hard way.

Before my knee replacements, I bought a tablet in order to have a reader. Rather than buy books that I wasn't sure I would be able to read, I searched for free online options. I was excited to find a bunch of old science fiction magazines on Google Books, clicked to download, and thought I would have them to read. When I was up to reading while in the rehab hospital, I found that their WiFi was out of commission so I couldn't get on DU. But I didn't worry since I thought I had those magazines to read.

No such luck - my Google Books virtual library was full of links but not one freaking book or magazine! I did have a couple I had downloaded from Archive.org and a few from Gutenberg.org, but even after I got out of the hospital I couldn't get access to those magazines from Google Books.

So there is another recommendation - Project Gutenberg at Gutenberg.org. They have a lot of classics though they are restricted to digitizing the printed word.
