SUPPORT THE ARCHIVE

Free to read. Never free to run.

本 doesn't sell ads and never will paywall a title. Sourcing, digitizing, and hosting real print media costs money. Like a public library, we ask the people who can give to help fund the ones who can't.

WHAT SUPPORTING CHANGES, AND WHAT IT DOESN'T

Changes

  • A Supporter tag next to your username
  • Faster download speeds for scanned pages
  • The option to skip ahead in a queue on titles you're waiting for

Never changes

  • Reading any title is always free
  • Everyone still checks items out one at a time
  • No title is ever exclusive to supporters
