 Hey all, with books being banned, history being rewritten/erased, and rights being stripped, I’ve got a couple tools to fight it in this thread! Feel free to add your own and make helpful tools more widely available.

1. Library Genesis (LibGen): It helped a whole lot with… “borrowing” required texts for my econ/finance classes. I only paid for 3 textbooks/course packs during my 4 years, and those were only because of online homework. You can find most books there including banned books and academic texts! Just make sure you’re using an ad and popup blocker :)

2. Wayback Machine (Internet Archive): This one was especially helpful whenever teachers posted dead links for required articles, but it can also be used to find older versions of active links/websites!

3. Archive (.ph, .is, and .today domains are all good!): Users upload web pages to be archived. It’s run by a mysterious man from Russia but is free to use and ad-free. You can bypass many built-in paywalls such as WSJ articles using it but it also serves the same purpose as the Wayback Machine!

4. Minecraft (Library of Alexandria/The Uncensored Library): This map is built by Reporters Without Borders as a way to bypass fire walls in countries with oppressive governments and provide books which may be forbidden :)

Cheesy but ancestory.com and it's subsidiaries like findagrave.com and the independent website familysearch.com who uses ancestry information to build family trees based off of input from other users.
