Internet Archives: “Democracies need an educated citizenry to thrive. In the 21^st century, that means easy access to reliable information online for all.  To meet that need, the Internet Archive is building Democracy’s Library—a free, open, online compendium of government research and publications from around the world. “Governments have created an abundance of information and put it in the public domain, but it turns out the public can’t easily access it,” said Internet Archive founder Brewster Kahle, who is spearheading the effort to collect materials for the digital library. By having a wealth of public documents curated and searchable through a single interface, citizens will be able to leverage useful research, learn about the workings of their government, hold officials accountable, and be more informed voters.
