We’re Helping the Internet Archive Protect Universal Access to Knowledge — And You Can Too!
If you’re anything like us, you probably can’t imagine a world without the Internet Archive. From preserving classic games and retro computing history to housing a seemingly infinite library of books, software, and media, the Archive is an essential time capsule for nerds, historians, and digital explorers alike.
So when we heard about the Internet Archive’s new Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Fundraising initiative to help “protect universal access to knowledge,” we had to jump onboard.
What’s the Initiative All About?
The Internet Archive has launched a grassroots fundraising effort — where supporters can create their own personalised campaigns to raise funds for the parts of the Archive that matter most to them. Whether it’s emulation, old software, the Wayback Machine, or public domain books, each campaign can highlight what’s most meaningful to the fundraiser and their community.
We’ve created our own fundraising page to support this critical mission, and we’d love for you to join us:

Why Now?
Through September 30, every dollar raised through this P2P campaign will be matched 2:1, tripling the impact of your generosity. That means a $10 donation turns into $30 for the Archive. It’s a rare opportunity to make your support go further — and help keep digital history freely accessible for everyone.
Why It Matters to Us
As lovers of all things retro — from arcade games to crusty old ZIP files — we rely on the Internet Archive to dig into the past and share its treasures with the world. Whether we’re researching obscure 8-bit titles or revisiting classic DOS manuals, the Internet Archive is our go-to.
By supporting this initiative, we’re helping ensure that future generations can still discover the games, media, and knowledge we grew up with. And that feels pretty awesome.

Let’s keep knowledge free and accessible — pixel by pixel, page by page. ❤️
