We've been getting a lot of questions about how the Internet Archive digitizes books. The short answer: page by page, by hand. You may remember our viral 2021 video of Eliza Zhang scanning a book. That's still how we do it. Meet Eliza, and learn how we scan books: blog.archive.org/2021/02/09/m...

The United States government should not attempt to hide the truth about its past, or even worse, rewrite history, but when it does, it’s up to the citizenry to preserve the real facts. Transparency and accountability are necessary foundations for a functioning democracy.

“Compare any two captures of [URL] from our collection of [x] dating from [y] to [z].” This is great to know about. Now I just need to figure out what to click to do the comparison.

UPDATE: DOJ has restored the doc showing 4 FBI formal interviews with the Trump accuser, which I reported accurately was taken down. (We still don't have access to 3 of the interviews.) Link: justice.gov/epstein/file... Proof the link was down earlier today: web.archive.org/web/20260219...

It appears that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has, within the past week, scrubbed a large amount of climate change content from its official website, as well as *removed human-caused warming* from the discussion on its "causes of climate change" page.
Snapshot of US EPA's "causes of climate change" webpage as of 12/8/2025. Human causes are no longer mentioned anywhere on the page.

Last week a CDC webpage about vaccine safety was edited. Using the "Changes" feature of the Wayback Machine we can see a "before and after" comparison: web.archive.org/web/diff/202... The Internet Archive's Wayback Machine is the change control system the web never had.
