    Guess what's back. Yes, archive.org and openlibrary.org are back, as well as web.archive.org (Wayback Machine) and all those amazing items. Some of the features are not up yet, but rest assured we're working on it and our tired devs will prevail.

    I don't speak Portuguese, so spread as you see fit: If you have Brazilian culture, content or data, please upload it directly to the Internet Archive, or mail hard drives out to us to store your material. An incredible amount of material is going to be lost. We will host it.
