I’m very pleased to post this announcement of various resources and events associated with the Internet Archive achieving 1 trillion archived web pages. They have done extraordinary work.
—Joan Lippincott, Associate Executive Director Emerita, CNI
Throughout the month of October, Internet Archive is celebrating an extraordinary milestone: 1 trillion web pages archived and available for use in the Wayback Machine! Together with more than 1,300 libraries, we’ve helped preserve a living record of the web for future generations.
To mark this once-in-a-generation achievement, we’re inviting all libraries to join the celebration using our new Library Resource Guide. Learn more & explore the guide in our recent post: https://blog.archive.org/2025/10/07/calling-all-libraries-celebrate-1-trillion-web-pages-archived-with-the-internet-archive/
Inside, you’ll find:
- Ready-to-use social media templates, visuals, and celebration graphics
- Event ideas for engaging your community—from “Then & Now” displays using the Wayback Machine to web preservation talks
- Impact stories from libraries helping preserve local digital heritage
Libraries have been at the heart of this digital preservation work from the very beginning, ensuring that the world’s digital knowledge remains freely accessible. As we celebrate 1 trillion pages saved, we’re celebrating the vital role libraries play in keeping the web’s memory alive.
