Bibliobanter - The Internet Archive

Technical difficulties abound! Fortunately Adam and Lexi have backups in place for just such an occasion. This month Adam and Lexi talk about one of the best resources available on the internet. The Internet Archive. A free online library that contains books, movies, music, games, and even whole entire websites that were once thought gone.   And be sure to let us know what treasures you find.  The next pod will start after the studio is back in order (and Adam can put down Wolfenstein 3D, seriously this place has everything!).

The Internet Archive can be reached at https://archive.org/
