I have 2000 old VHS tapes in my garage and I don't know what to do with them

The outwardly visible status is that just a small portion of the recordings have been made available[1]. The Archive is not commenting about this for years now.

That’s rather disappointing. Expected more from the internet archive.

Expectations are free, actual work costs time and money though.

I've donated to archival efforts before and, as many, would be happy to chip in for this one. It doesn't seem possible though and we don't know why it appears stalled.

I mean I have donated $250 every year for the past 7 years so it's not like I don't put my money where my mouth is

Please donate to them if you want them to meet your expectations

So it can go to settle their court fines? Or fund their next harebrained legal adventure?

Yes, so they can continue doing their mission, including digitalizing archives and fighting legal battles.

I already do, I have donated $1750 so far. I have no way to see why this project is stalled or to specify where my donations go to (which makes sense, having donators specifying which subproject is likely to be a nightmare to manage)
