ibiblio

ibiblio is a digital library and archive hosted by the School of Information and Library Science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. It provides free public access to a wide variety of information and open-source content, including software, music, literature, historical documents, and educational resources. ibiblio aims to be a contributor-run, trust-based digital library that serves as a repository and facilitator for creators of all kinds.

Originally founded in 1992 as SunSITE (Sun Software Information and Technology Exchange), ibiblio was one of the earliest websites on the internet. It has grown significantly since its inception and now hosts a vast collection of digital materials. The name "ibiblio" is a portmanteau of "I" (meaning first person, to emphasize its focus on individual contributors) and "bibliotheca" (Latin for library).

ibiblio's content is organized into numerous categories, reflecting the diverse range of materials it offers. Users can browse or search for specific items within the collection. Much of the content is available under open licenses, encouraging reuse and redistribution.

ibiblio operates as a collaborative project, relying on contributions from individuals, organizations, and institutions. Its mission is to provide a sustainable and accessible platform for the dissemination of knowledge and creative works. It serves as a valuable resource for students, researchers, educators, and the general public.
