About IntellectualArchive
IntellectualArchive is a new online/offline repository for works in science and arts. It allows you to register and archive your scientific or artistic works, presents them to the entire world, protects your copyright, provides you with an ISBN for your textual work and lets you submit your work to major libraries. After the uploading of your work you will receive the copyright acknowledgment via e-mail and also the permanent link, which allows you to download the file with your work at any time. This link is very convenient if you want to demonstrate your work to prospective publishers, clients, colleagues or to your friends. We can also prepare and send you
a paper certificate with your name, title of your
work, short description, date of registration and the download link.
About 'Intellectual Archive Bulletin'
If you choose so - the abstract of your work, reference number and download link will also be included into the
Intellectual Archive Bulletin (ISSN 1929-1329), which
we submit monthly to the Library of Congress
(http://lccn.loc.gov/2012210064),
the National Library of Canada (catalogue record),
and many other major libraries.
This feature makes our service really outstanding. Indeed, any kind
of online archive can eventually be lost because of server crash,
hard-drive failure, virus infection, hacker's attack, etc., or simply
because the web site owner decided to shut down the site. However,
since we publish abstracts of posted works in our paper bulletin and
distribute it to major libraries, it will stay there forever,
independently from the online archive.
This way you will always be able to refer to the printed and located in libraries document to prove your copyright, scientific priority and to provide references for your future works. Please note, this is free for you. We do not charge for the submission of the abstracts to libraries. To review the latest issues of "IntellectualArchive Bulletin" please click here.
1. When should you use IntellectualArchive?
When you have any intellectual works (scientific papers in natural or social sciences, your own music, photography, novels or poems, philosophic articles, etc), for which you would want to register copyright, archive and (if you chose so) to make it available to public.2. List of intellectual works we accept.

c. Literature: fiction, non-fiction, poems, scenarios, etc.
d. Photography.
e. Photographs of artistic projects designed by you (sculptures, paintings, drawings, etc).
f. Philosophy essays.
Needless to say we do not have censorship of any kind. Too many fresh ideas were rejected initially since it was too difficult for people to understand them. In contrast, we allow any idea to be published and preserved in our archive. Of course, we enforce some obvious basic rules: no racism, no libel and no insults of any kind.
3. Private registration of important documents.
You can also register the scanned image of documents important to you (family pictures, ownership papers, various certificates, etc). These files will be stored using the private option, which only allows YOU to view them. This option is very useful to keep copies of various important documents from damages by: water, fire, time, getting lost, etc. In private registration you can also zip and password protect your documents / artworks for 100% privacy. This service is also free for you to use.4. Files, safety, and security.
