BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Brewster Kahle Board Chair


A passionate advocate for public Internet access and a successful entrepreneur,
Brewster Kahle has spent his career intent on a singular focus: providing
Universal Access to All Knowledge. He is the founder and Digital Librarian of
the Internet Archive, one of the largest libraries in the world. Soon after
graduating from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where he studied
artificial intelligence, Kahle helped found the company Thinking Machines, a
parallel supercomputer maker. In 1989, Kahle created the Internet's first
publishing system called Wide Area Information Server (WAIS), later selling the
company to AOL. In 1996, Kahle co-founded Alexa Internet, which helps catalog
the Web, selling it to Amazon.com in 1999. The Internet Archive, which he
founded in 1996, now preserves 99+ petabytes of data - the books, Web pages,
music, television, and software of our cultural heritage, working with more than
400 library and university partners to create a digital library, accessible to
all.

Rick Prelinger Board President


Rick Prelinger prelinger.com, an archivist, writer and filmmaker, founded
Prelinger Archives, whose collection of 51,000 advertising, educational,
industrial, and amateur films was acquired by the Library of Congress in 2002
after 20 years' operation. Rick has partnered with the Internet Archive to make
2,000 films from Prelinger Archives available online for free viewing,
downloading and reuse. With the Voyager Company, a pioneer new media publisher,
he produced fourteen laserdiscs and CD-ROMs with material from his archives,
including "Ephemeral Films," the "Our Secret Century" series and "Call It Home:
The House That Private Enterprise Built," a laserdisc on the history of suburbia
and suburban planning. Rick has taught in the MFA Design program at New York's
School of Visual Arts and lectured widely on American cultural and social
history and on issues of cultural and intellectual property access. He sits on
the National Film Preservation Board as representative of the Association of
Moving Image Archivists and is Board President of the Internet Archive and also
the San Francisco Cinematheque. His feature-length film "Panorama Ephemera,"
depicting the conflicted landscapes of 20th-century America, opened in summer
2004. He is co-founder of the Prelinger Library, an appropriation-friendly
reference library located in San Francisco.

Kathleen Burch


Kathleen Burch has decades of experience in non-profit management, strategic
thinking, and community activation, all to serve her passion and commitment to
universal literacy and book publishing.

After studies at Mills College in Oakland in English Literature and and graduate
work in the Book Arts department, she founded a type & design studio and
collaborated with an independent publishing house, Burning Books, both of which
thrived in San Francisco throughout the eighties.

An understanding of the community's needs, along with her value for arts
organizations, book arts and social entrepreneuring, drove Burch to go on to
co-found the San Francisco Center for the Book in 1996. She now serves as its
board vice-chair and on the executive committee in perpetuity. Besides sitting
on several other community-based boards, she also chaired the board of Pro Arte
Libri, an international arts organization devoted to the art of fine bookmaking.

She has practiced symbolic communication through typographic languages since
1974, publishing the works of big thinkers such as John Cage, Robert Ashley,
Yoko Ono, Laurie Anderson, and her own work on game theory and the culture of
card-playing, with recent studies in the Visual Criticism department at
California College of Art in San Francisco. Her work with Burning Books was the
subject of a retrospective exhibition at Mills College in 1996. She was a Xerox
PARC artist-in-residence in 2000.

David Rumsey


David Rumsey is President of Cartography Associates, a digital publishing
company based in San Francisco, and Chairman of Luna Imaging, a provider of
software for online image collections. Rumsey's collection of historical maps
numbers over 150,000 cartographic items and is one of the largest private map
collections in the United States. In 2002, he received a Webby Award for
Technical Achievement and an Honors Award from the Special Libraries Association
for providing free public access to his private map collection at the David
Rumsey Map Collection.

Rumsey received his BA and MFA from Yale University where he was a lecturer in
art and a founding member of Yale Research Associates in the Arts, a group of
artists working with electronic technologies. He serves on the boards of the
Long Now Foundation, John Carter Brown Library, Advisory Board to Stanford
University Library, and is a trustee of Yale Library Associates and the Samuel
H. Kress Foundation.

Rumsey has lectured widely regarding his online library work, including talks at
the Library of Congress, New York Public Library, Digital Library Federation,
Stanford University, Harvard University, and at conferences in the U.S., Hong
Kong, Mexico, Japan, United Kingdom, and Germany. He has contributed to several
publications on cartography and the advent of GIS. In 2005 ESRI Press published
his book Cartographica Extraordinaire. Recently, Rumsey has been creating
historical map projects both in Google Earth and the virtual world of Second
Life.
