   This is really lovely. I think it's pretty obvious that it bases on sources like Internet Archive and the Library of Congress, but it does add value.

   I just wonder if it can survive - is there a business model here? If not, it's just a tech demo and then it doesn't have value as the hosted version, it would have it if the whole processing/indexing pipeline was open sourced so that anyone can host it themselves and pay for their own infrastructure.

      There is SO MUCH value to be added on top of archives. Browsing archive.org kind of sucks, but there is so much amazing material on there.

      Curation makes all the difference.
