The Library
The Library Project is about building a library of knowledge that is resilient enough to last for centuries. The purpose of such an archive is to help ensure a post human or trans-human civilization based on ours, for us or our children or even our machines. With the Archive, we work towards the long term success of intelligence in the universe. It is the single most important thing we can do to improve the likely hood of achieving this post human intelligence, if not from this civilization then maybe for the next. This is the key to why the Foundation is so committed to the creation of the archive.
In order to measure our progress we have divided our goal into discreet tasks, and further, placed them in order of priority and dependence. Then used that as a lite classification system around being able to measure our success as well as denote project phase status, and further give us the basis for detailed project management. Those Archive classifications are as follows.

The Library Institute Retreat Project
The Foundation has been focused for some time on building a research facility that would focus on long term thinking, preservation of knowledge, the moral and ethical use of technology to improve the human condition. This is the Library, a center for research, the collection of knowledge and the Foundation Library and archive. The location is open to all that share this goal in some way; whether living on site, contributing to the goal or visiting the Archive. We hope to help accomplish the aforementioned vision.
This initial retreat consistent of about 3500 sq. ft. living space and work space as well as about 10000 square feet of additional property. Internet and other resources are provided. The location is in the suburbs and close to public transport and other resources. Anyone interested in living at the retreat please contact the Foundation at pratoriate@hotmail.com

Hi! Here is a solution for the “Library” – Alexandria – decentralized storage of knowledge. http://blocktech.com/
but this requires a computer. the most refined library should require nothing more then a magnifying glass. yes this is cool but we need a more robust version. in our case we now are maintaining two version, a paper version and an mDisk digital version offline with a computer in a Faraday cage.
