The Internet Archive has cultivated thousands of planned giving supporters over the years who have decided when making their legacy plans to include the Internet Archive in them as a nonprofit of choice. Tim, who turned 40, made that decision and decided it was time to think about the organizations that reflect what matters most to him and how he could help sustain their work.

Every day, information professionals at libraries, archives, museums and research organizations all over the world work to ensure that knowledge remains available for future generations. From preserving websites before they disappear to digitizing books, safeguarding government information, and expanding access to cultural heritage, there’s always something happening behind the scenes. Internet Archive’s Empowering Libraries newsletter brings those stories directly to your inbox.

This year, as part of Google Summer of Code (GSoC), the Internet Archive is collaborating with two outstanding contributors to make it easier for patrons to find relevant books on Open Library. Tanishq Sangwan, a 19-year-old from Gurugram, India, and Chisom Nnamani of Lagos, Nigeria, are two of 1,141 software developers from around the world who have been selected through GSoC to hone their engineering capabilities with open-source organizations.
