The Power of Personal Archives
Project Gutenberg, MIT Classics Archive, and Archive.org demonstrate the enduring value of digital preservation. These pioneering platforms have preserved millions of texts, from classic literature to historical documents. Texi takes this proven model and puts archival capabilities directly in users’ hands.
