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.

Internet Archive builds a small figure for every one who works there for three years. The Chinese knew what they were doing with their Terracotta Warriors to protect themselves in the afterlife. The Wayback Machine is just that!
Amazing to see them all in the pews of the former Church of Christian Science.
