Our Year In Review<\/p>\n
2022 is coming to a close\u2014and as the new year approaches, we\u2019re taking some time to reflect. The Internet Archive\u2019s patrons, partners, and donors have helped us achieve some great things in the past twelve months, and we\u2019re deeply grateful to all those who have supported us. Here are some highlights from a memorable year!<\/p>\n
The Race to Archive the Ukrainian Internet<\/p>\n
When Russian troops poured over the Ukrainian border in February, the world watched in shock\u2013but thousands of volunteers around the globe sprang into action. Recognizing the dangers that Ukrainian digital culture was facing, organizations such as Saving Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Online (SUCHO) and Archive Team came together, using a variety of web archiving tools (including the Wayback Machine) to capture online artifacts before they were lost forever.

TV News Archive Expands<\/p>\n
For more than 20 years, the Internet Archive\u2019s Television News Archive has monitored television news, preserving more than 9.5 million broadcasts totaling more than 6.6 million hours from across the world. This June, we released the new Visual Explorer\u2014which allows researchers to assess and understand the narratives of television news at scale, creating new opportunities for research and analysis.

New Developments in Publishers\u2019 Lawsuit<\/p>\n
In 2022, we continued our fight for the right of libraries to lend books. A lawsuit filed by four major publishing companies attempts to outlaw our Controlled Digital Lending (CDL) program, which preserves traditional library lending in the digital world. Through CDL, the Internet Archive and other libraries make and lend out digital scans of print books in our collections, subject to strict technical controls. Although the lawsuit is still ongoing, this summer we asked a federal judge to rule in our favor and bring the case to a close.<\/p>\n

The Launch of Democracy\u2019s Library
\nIn October the Internet Archive officially announced a brand new initiative: Democracy\u2019s Library. We believe that free and open access to public information is critical for any functioning democracy, and that every citizen should be able to seek knowledge in the public domain. That\u2019s why we\u2019re working to collect important government documents, so that citizens everywhere can be better informed. <\/p>\n
