'Internet Archive' celebrates 20 years in San Francisco!
CinéFemme is an archive of writing about women and film on the Internet. Time to celebrate a San Francisco organization with two women on its executive staff (could be more, must be more) celebrating 20 years of outstanding information in Internet preservation.
Internet Archive 20 years! This huge church for the Christian Scientists were taken over by Internet Archives 20 years ago on Clement and Funston. The place was packed with volunteers, engineers and webcrawlers - Millennials, Generation X and a few Baby Boomers who were out there before any of them. A day to be proud of the creative achievements of visionaries in San Francisco.
