Today’s San Jose Merc has a two-part package about Internet Archive co-founder and digital librarian visionary Brewster Kahle (I took the above photo of Brewster when the Internet Archive hosted the citizens media summit I organized on May 14, 2005):
He fights for open access to the world’s digital library
Dedicating his career to open information. Library of Ancient Egypt inspires a life’s work.
It’s interesting to compare the Internet Archive‘s motto:
“Universal access to human knowledge”
to Google’s mission statement:
“organizing the world’s information and making it universally accessible and useful.”
