body: value: <h2>About Internet Archive & Open Library</h2>

The [Internet Archive][1] is a non-profit 501(c)(3) dedicated to the mission of Universal Access to All Knowledge. The organization runs services such as [OpenLibrary.org][2], the [Wayback Machine][3], and [Archive.org][4].

In 2007 the [Internet Archive][5] received official recognition as a [Special Library][6] (Rush Brandis, California State Library) by the State of California. [For 9 years][7], the Internet Archive has been enabling patrons to read and borrow books from Open Library using [Controlled Digital Lending][8].

<h2>Enabling Libraries to go Digital</h2>

In [2017][9], the Internet Archive announced the [Open Libraries][10] partnership program which enables libraries across the United States to leverage Internet Archive's [Controlled Digital Lending][11] system to make their out of circulation materials digitally accessible to patrons through OpenLibrary.org and Archive.org. 

<h2>Run a free, no-obligation overlap</h2>

Does your library, university, or archive have a collection of books which patrons may benefit from accessing in digital format? Request a free overlap to discover how much of your physical collection is already available digitally online. [Contact us](mailto:info@archive.org) to schedule a free, no-obligation ISBN overlap and see which of your books are already digitally available in the Internet Archive's repository.
