Whats the significance of the Archives collections?
Societies have always placed importance on preserving their culture and heritage. But much early 20th-century media — television and radio, for example — was not saved. The Library of Alexandria — an ancient center of learning containing a copy of every book in the world — disappeared when it was burned to the ground.

Special projects include OpenLibrary.org (link to faq) and NASAImages.org: NASA Images was created through a Space Act Agreement between the Internet Archive and NASA to bring public access to NASA’s image, video, and audio collections in a single, searchable resource. The NASA Images team works closely with all of the NASA centers to keep adding to the ever-growing collection at nasaimages.org. The site launched in July 2008 and now has more than 100,000 items online.
