The Internet Archive is currently accepting donations of items we do not have already in our library. The good news is we already have many titles, but that means we are receiving many duplicates. We need your help. If there is reason to think the majority of the materials are not in our collection, we can take it whole and deduplicate it ourselves, but otherwise we need your help to figure out what is needed. We have tools that can help speed the process, but often doing a random sample of your items can give a pretty good idea.
