The latest Brick House video, Part Three in our series on Brewster Kahle and the Internet Archive, demonstrates the irreplaceable value of the Archive’s collected web pages to those interested in the history of U.S. elections. (Also see Part One, The Internet Archive Is a Library, and Part Two, Libraries and Versions.)

Many thanks to Hydra Joe MacLeod and video whiz Todd Evans for their stellar work on these.

If you're in San Francisco tonight, why not pop by the Internet Archive at 300 Funston Avenue, where a couple of Hydras (Jennie Rose Halperin and Maria Bustillos, plus our developer and designer, Jacob Ford) will be gallivanting around from 5:00 p.m. onward.
