In this episode, Mark Graham, Director of the Wayback Machine of the Internet Archive discusses his work backing up the Internet, TV, radio, chats, etc. around the globe, and the role it plays in preserving not only data, but cultures of countries. Mark describes the value of having content preserved and accessible from a source where governments can’t take it down and discusses the Internet Archive’s project in backing up and scanning data important to Urkaine’s culture, which is getting destroyed in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Archive.org and the Wayback Machine are live and freely accessible to research, journalism, academia, businesses, and ordinary people.
