In 2011, MEMRI began monitoring jihadi groups utilizing the Internet Archive (Archive.org) to spread their propaganda, and the site has proven a jihadi favorite, as content is rarely removed from the site.[1]  According to its website, the Internet Archive is “a 501(c)(3) non-profit that was founded to build an Internet library” by cataloguing files and web pages that would otherwise be no longer accessible to internet users.[2]













 
Online jihad supporters have been utilizing the Internet Archive as a file storage database and a venue for distributing their propaganda materials, as well as applications and file-sharing links, which are then shared by Telegram channels promoting the messages of jihadi groups including ISIS and Al-Qaeda.

The following report highlights examples of files in multiple media formats of media posted on the Internet Archive and linked to by jihadi Telegram channels.  File types include videos, audio fles, PDFs, and file-sharing torrents.
