The Internet is Archived in This Former Church

Brewster Kahle is a legend among pioneers of the early internet.
Kahle is known as the inventor of WAIS (Wide Area Information Servers), the internet's first distributed-search and document-retrieval system-more commonly known as the precursor to the World Wide Web. As the internet evolved into a ubiquitous utility, Kahle, a lifelong advocate for universal access to knowledge, decided that his next mission should be to preserve the vast amounts of information shared around the world.
Thus the Internet Archive was born. A non-profit dedicated to creating an indelible record of humanity's transition into the digital age, it has operated out of a former Christian Science church in the Inner Richmond since 1996. There, Kahle's small team of digital librarians work tirelessly to acquire and archive documents and data from across the world, seeking to construct a modern Library of Alexandria.
