Brewster Kahle and Universal Access to All Knowledge
Brewster Kahle has dedicated his career to creating a digital library accessible to all, preserving over 145+ petabytes of data—including books, web pages, music, television, and software. The Internet Archive collaborates with 1,200+ library and university partners worldwide to safeguard cultural heritage and enhance public access to knowledge.
Internet Archive Europe, a Dutch foundation established in 2004, expands this mission of Universal Access to All Knowledge through partnerships with European libraries, museums, and archives, working to safeguard digital heritage for the long term.

- Exploring how AI can be used to “bring collections to life” for researchers, patrons, and the public.
