summary

The Internet Archive has partnered with the island nation of Aruba to create a digital archive of its national library, national archives, and other institutions. The collection includes over 100,000 items, including documents, images, and 3D objects. This project is significant because it is the first time the Internet Archive has backed up an entire nation's history. The project was funded entirely by the Internet Archive and highlights the organization's commitment to preserving digital information for posterity.
