On October 17th, 2024, the WordPress Foundation Board of Directors made the unanimous decision to make a contribution of $100,000 to the Internet Archive. The WordPress Foundation has long supported the work of the Internet Archive.
The work this organization does to preserve the Internet, ensures that students, researchers, journalists, librarians, and curious citizens around the globe have access to our digital cultural heritage for many years to come.
The Board of Directors is hopeful that this donation will make a significant impact, given the recent challenges faced by the organization.
bravos👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you Harmony for this update and Kudos to the WordPress Foundation!
Thankyou. This is really helpful.
Thank you for doing this, it was so shocking to see them get hacked recently and shot a thought of terror thinking it could all be lost. It’s support like this that keeps something so important going and I really appreciate it.
Commendable indeed, commendable
This is good news!
The Internet Archive can really use the money right now. Between getting hacked like so many other online libraries (why does anyone want to hack a library website?!) and losing their books repository lawsuit to Hachette, your generous donation will have a positive impact, I’m sure.
