Anna's Archive is an open source search engine for shadow libraries that was launched by the pseudonymous Anna shortly after law enforcement efforts to shut down Z-Library in 2022. The site aggregates records from several major shadow libraries, including Z-Library, Sci-Hub, and Library Genesis, as well as other sources. It calls itself "the largest truly open library in human history",[2] and has said it aims to "catalog all the books in existence" and "track humanity's progress toward making all these books easily available in digital form".[3] It claims not to be responsible for downloads of copyrighted materials,[4] since it indexes metadata and links to third-party downloads but does not directly host any files. However, it has faced government censorship and legal action from publishers and anti-piracy groups for engaging in large-scale copyright infringement.
