In a world where major entertainment websites vanish overnight and streaming media disappears from platforms without warning, our digital culture is at risk of being erased. What safeguards are in place to preserve our collective memory?

Join us October 23rd for the Internet Archive's annual celebration. This year’s gathering, “Escaping the Memory Hole,” explores the vital role that libraries play in protecting our digital heritage. As corporate decision-makers increasingly control what stays online, libraries like the Internet Archive stand as guardians of our shared digital culture, ensuring that it remains preserved and accessible for future generations.

Celebrate VIRTUALLY with the Internet Archive!

This year's celebration is a hybrid event. This event registration is for the virtual event. If you'd like to join us in-person at our main library in San Francisco, please register for an in-person ticket.

Streaming LIVE from our Great Room!

7 pm - 8pm PT / 10 - 11pm ET
