The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports that the Internet Archive is now considered a library.
“The Internet has been around long enough to have its own attic — an ever-expanding repository of art, pop culture and information. It’s the San Francisco-based Internet Archive, a Web site where surfers can spend hours exploring a universe of archived books, films, music and more.
It’s not just any old online attic, though. In May, California officially recognized the Internet Archive, established in 1996, as a library. The designation makes the online archive eligible to apply for several federal grant programs that are administered by the state of California.”
