reports
that the nonprofit Internet Archive has received a million dollar grant
from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. "
The archiving organization's
Open-Access Text Archive is an open-source alternative to book-scanning
efforts like the ones from Google and Microsoft. Internet Archive, perhaps
best known for its WayBack Machine archive of Web pages by date--is also an
online digital library of text, audio, software, images and video
content."
