the internet archive is a digital library that preserves cultural works and makes them available to the public. they have saved over 800 billion web pages, as well as books, music recordings, movies, video games, and much more. the internet archive is important because it helps to prevent the loss of our collective memory and ensures that future generations have access to the knowledge and culture of the past.  recently, the internet archive has been under attack. they were sued by four of the world's largest book publishers for making digital copies of books available to the public. they were also hit with a cyberattack that knocked their website offline for a period of time. in addition, libraries in general are under attack, with book bannings, defunding, and publishers refusing to sell ebooks to libraries. despite these challenges, the internet archive is committed to its mission of preserving our digital culture. they are working to collect and preserve born-digital materials, such as floppy disks and software. they are also working to fix broken links in wikipedia and other websites, so that people can still access the information they need. the internet archive is also working to emulate obsolete formats, such as flash, so that people can still experience the games and other creative works that were created using those formats.  the internet archive needs our support to continue its important work. we can support them by donating money, volunteering our time, and speaking out against attacks on libraries.
