Badass librarians of the Internet Archive
Internet Archive staff in San Francisco
Librarians rock. And Internet Archive librarians, aiming to digitize and make universally available all human knowledge, including saving webpages that would otherwise disappear? They're on a whole 'nother level.
In this age of alternative facts and disappearing government websites, hear how this small group of badass librarians is working to preserve knowledge and empower investigative reporters and ordinary citizens to find webpages those with something to hide would rather you didn't find.
