Preserving One Couple's Hidden Library
- zdw 11y agoPer one of the comments, if you have what you think are rare books, and want to get them into Archive.org, what's the process? While they seem to be landing a lot of enormous collections between this and the recent technical manual collection, it seems like there are whole lot of smaller individual books or sets of books. I have a few books from the early 1900's that I know are out of copyright, and are quite interesting - science books where the highest pinnacle of tech was the new fangled thing called the "aeroplane", which was seen as far less reliable and likely to be a fad compared to dirigibles and other lighter than air conveyances.

[0] I assume, if they're interested, they'll tell you what the process is when you call. I couldn't find anything in their FAQ, I imagine it's on a case-by-case basis. Given her age, I was impressed that she was aware of the archive. [0] https://archive.org/about/contact.php https://archive.org/about/contact.php edit: added info after checking FAQ
