Internet Archive Holiday Card

If you are not already familiar with the vast storehouse that is the Internet Archive, check out their 2008 Holiday Card. The card highlights the 2008 achievements of the Archive including:

  • One million searchable, downloadable books go
  • 150 billion web pages go
  • 250,000 audio recordings go
  • 135,000 videos go
  • 796 new collections
  • 23 million Book Records on the new OpenLibrary.org site
  • Scan-on-Demand partnership with Boston Public Library
  • 182 employees in 18 facilities in 5 countries scanning 1,000 books a day
  • 145 libraries contributing to the Open Content Alliance go
  • 140,000 images and videos on the new partnership with NASA NASAimages.org
Here's hoping that the current economic times don't prevent them from having an even more successful 2009.
