===Digitizing sponsors for books===
Many large institutional sponsors have helped the Internet Archive provide millions of scanned publications (text items).<ref>For example, the [[Princeton Theological Seminary Library]] has described how it and other academic libraries are digitization partners with the Internet Archive: {{cite web |url=https://library.ptsem.edu/partnering-with-the-internet-archive |title=Partnering with the Internet Archive |website=[[Princeton Theological Seminary Library]] |access-date=December 4, 2020 |archive-date=November 30, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201130110259/https://library.ptsem.edu/partnering-with-the-internet-archive |url-status=live }}</ref> Some sponsors that have digitized large quantities of texts include the University of Toronto's [[Robarts Library]], [[University of Alberta Libraries]], [[University of Ottawa]], [[Library of Congress]], [[Boston Library Consortium]] member libraries, [[Boston Public Library]], [[Princeton Theological Seminary Library]], and many others.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://archive.org/search.php?query=collection%3A%28texts%29+AND+mediatype%3A%28collection%29&sort=-downloads |title=Internet Archive Search: collection:(texts) |website=archive.org |access-date=December 4, 2020}}</ref>
