#2Internet Archive has begun gathering content for the Digital Library of Amateur Radio and Communications (DLARC), which will be a massive online library of materials and collections related to amateur radio and early digital communications.
The DLARC project is looking for contributors with troves of ham radio, amateur radio, and early digital communications related books, magazines, documents, catalogs, manuals, videos, software, personal archives, and other historical records collections, no matter how big or small. In addition to physical material to digitize, we are looking for podcasts, newsletters, video channels, and other digital content that can enrich the DLARC collections.

Does it have to be strictly historical radio content? I have a radio app I used to showcase some of my compositions but I'm not sure it'd qualify.

#7Probably totally digress, but I wish IA can organize their digital library slightly better.
One day I was checking some manga books by ISBN on IA just out of curiosity. And for some reason, it put the ISBNs for all the volumes of a manga into one single entry (https://archive.org/details/isbn_1919979003907, check "ISBN" metadata section) and unsurprisingly, the actual content is only one volume, vol.43 (not even vol.1!). I have a feeling other volumes may exist somewhere there, but there is no way to search for them.
This isn't a one-off occurrence either, it reflects my experience for trying to find specific item there well, especially for non-English books.

#8There are millions of "reflector" messages that contain a tremendous amount of knowledge. I hope the project manages to archive those as well.

On a given day I'm moving tens of thousands of items around to make them easier to find. I'm sure I'll get to your section sooner or later.

Are you involved with IA? I'm actually really interested in what your day to day looks like, could you share more?
