The Internet Archive is a fantastic and important initiative and we should definitely support it.
But:
Let's also support the public service players in its space that often get forgotten or marginalised by it's well funded marketing.
I'm thinking particularly of the various national libraries that preserve content under incredibly tight budgetary, PR and legal constraints that the IA is relatively free of.
On IA-aware media like HN, there is a tendency to present it as the only preservation initiative out there, which is absolutely not the case.
