Found is an archival research and discovery tool for exploring millions of public-domain films, photographs, audio recordings, books, and historical documents from the Internet Archive and Wikimedia Commons.
Browse, read, watch, and listen — completely free. Found surfaces the license and attribution for every item, so you always know exactly how a piece of media can be used.
DISCOVER THE ARCHIVE
Explore one of the largest collections of human culture ever assembled. Search by year, media type, creator, subject, and license type. Found's on-device recommendation engine learns your interests privately — no accounts, no tracking, no data leaves your device.
ORGANIZE YOUR RESEARCH
Save items to personal collections. Follow archive creators and channels. Build a research library around any topic — history, film, music, literature, science, or culture.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS
Every item in Found displays its source, license type, and rights information. Found Pro users get a one-tap attribution generator that produces properly formatted credit text for any item — ready to copy into a paper, article, video description, or creative project.
