 Excavating Posts
Kahle's project is not just to collect the abstractions of human activity found in 'written text' but also the fixtures, the 'space' in between and the map that explains how each are related to the other.
Kahle has addressed these concerns, which similarly dominate cultural heritage discussions, in the short term, by stating that only already publicly available material will be archived and that this will not be made accessible from the Archive until these issues are resolved.
Kahle and the Archive have opted for the comparison with a library possibly to emphasise the most innocuous and least intrusive model (Boyle 1997:4).

 Feb/Mar 2002 Bulletin: ASIST 2001 Keynote: Brewster Kahle   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Brewster Kahle, perhaps best known as the developer of the Wide Area Information Server, better known as WAIS, presented the opening plenary address at the 2001 ASIST Annual Meeting, on Sunday, November 4, in Washington, DC.
Kahle says the last people to attempt to provide universal access to human knowledge were the ancient Greeks, with their concept of the encyclopedia and their library at Alexandria.
Kahle concluded by noting the goal is to provide "universal access to human knowledge, one page at a time, one patron at a time." But he can't do it all — the job must be done by lots of people trained in how to do it.

 webservices.xml.com: How the Wayback Machine Works
Kahle, who serves as archive director and president of Alexa Internet, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Amazon.com, says it's about five times as large as the Library of Congress, with its 20 million books.
Kahle: You can build amazing systems out of these bricks that cost only a couple hundred dollars each, and you just throw more bricks at the problem to give it more computer power, more RAM, more disk, more network bandwidth, whatever it is you need.
Kahle: How the archive works is just with stacks and stacks of computers runnning Solaris on x86, FreeBSD, and Linux, all of which have serious flaws, so we need to use different operating systems for different functions.

 New Statesman - Brewster Kahle
Like other successful net entrepreneurs, Kahle has ploughed his spoils into a non-profit endeavour, and the result is the Internet Archive, an attempt to achieve what the ancient Greeks and Egyptians tried at the library of Alexandria: to make a permanent record of all human knowledge.
Nevertheless, Kahle's Wayback Machine (available at [http://www.archive.org/web/web.php]) already allows users to browse more than 40 billion web pages archived from 1996 onwards - exposing, among other things, some embarrassing design decisions that certain print magazines made in their early days online (see [http://web.archive.org/web/19981111190118/ http://www.newstatesman.co.uk/]).
Whereas Kahle's team would make full-text, searchable copies available to all users of the web, Google will allow access only from the libraries in which the original books are stored, and as extracts through its commercial service Google Print.
