That building is somewhat reminiscent of their SF headquarters: https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/internet-archive-headquarters https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/internet-archive-headqua... That said, the biggest threat to the Internet Archive is from overreaching copyright legislation, and Canada is not that much better than the US. Iceland or some other such locale might be better indicated, and Iceland has natural advantages in cooling and cheap hydropower, a big part of a datacenter's operational costs.

A deep archive in Iceland would be really awesome, I hope this happens.
