Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine was created in 1996 actually archiving the internet, which was still beginning to grow in popularity at the time. There is a special focus on digitalizing books so that people who normally wouldn’t have access to these can read the books that they want and need to read. The site itself serves millions of people daily, making it one of the top 300 websites across the globe. This organization is entirely funded by donations, grants, and through providing web archiving for their partners. Privacy is important to this organization because they know it’s important to their patrons.
