“Universal access to all human knowledge is within our grasp. Our job is to put the best our world has to offer within the reach of our children.” —Brewster Kahle, Internet Archive Digital Librarian “让人类能够普遍获取所有知识,这一目标已触手可及。我们的工作就是将世界上最优秀的资源送到孩子们的手中。”——布鲁斯特·卡勒(Brewster Kahle),互联网档案(Internet Archive)数字图书馆馆长
Every time you search the Wayback Machine or explore a collection at the Internet Archive, you are accessing a global library built to put knowledge within reach of curious learners around the world. The mission of “Universal Access to All Knowledge” is a commitment that goes beyond book scanners and web crawlers. It requires servers, storage, power, cooling, and the people who build and maintain our systems. Our infrastructure is the backbone of our digital library. 每当你搜索“时光机”(Wayback Machine)或浏览互联网档案的馆藏时,你实际上是在访问一座全球性的图书馆,它旨在让世界各地的好奇学习者都能获取知识。“普遍获取所有知识”这一使命不仅仅是关于书籍扫描仪和网络爬虫,它还需要服务器、存储设备、电力、冷却系统,以及构建和维护这些系统的人员。我们的基础设施是这座数字图书馆的脊梁。
The Internet Archive has always been completely free for everyone, everywhere. We don’t charge for access, sell user data, or run ads. Rather than contracting out our core technology to corporations, we build and maintain our own systems. That independence helps us preserve and provide public access to 210 petabytes of knowledge. However, it also means we are responsible for keeping that infrastructure running—and our needs are growing rapidly. 互联网档案始终对世界各地的每一个人完全免费。我们不收取访问费用,不出售用户数据,也不投放广告。我们没有将核心技术外包给企业,而是选择自主构建和维护系统。这种独立性帮助我们保存并向公众提供了 210 PB 的知识。然而,这也意味着我们必须负责维持这些基础设施的运转,而我们的需求正在迅速增长。
This September, you can help us meet that challenge and make your support go three times as far. When you start a recurring donation of $25 or more in September, your initial gift will be matched 2:1. That means your $25 monthly donation unlocks an additional $50 in matching support, resulting in $75 of giving on your behalf. A $50 monthly gift becomes $150. A $100 monthly gift becomes $300. 今年九月,你可以帮助我们应对这一挑战,并让你的支持发挥三倍的价值。如果你在九月份开启每月 25 美元或以上的定期捐款,你的首笔捐赠将获得 2:1 的配捐。这意味着你每月 25 美元的捐款将解锁额外的 50 美元配捐,使你的捐赠总额达到 75 美元。每月 50 美元的捐款将变为 150 美元,每月 100 美元的捐款将变为 300 美元。
Recurring gifts provide the dependable support we need to keep our infrastructure running year after year. In fact, the Internet Archive is powered by donations averaging about $25. When you join the Monthly Giving Circle, you aren’t simply maintaining servers. You ensure that books are readable and websites are accessible. You are preserving the best we have to offer for generations to come. Join the Internet Archive Monthly Giving Circle this September with a recurring gift of $25 or more, and your initial gift will be tripled through the 2:1 match. 定期捐款为我们提供了维持基础设施年复一年运转所需的可靠支持。事实上,互联网档案正是依靠平均约 25 美元的捐款来维持运营的。当你加入“月度捐赠圈”(Monthly Giving Circle)时,你不仅仅是在维护服务器,你还在确保书籍可读、网站可访问。你正在为子孙后代保存我们所拥有的最宝贵的财富。请在今年九月加入互联网档案月度捐赠圈,通过 25 美元或以上的定期捐款,让你的首笔捐赠通过 2:1 的配捐实现三倍价值。
