The mission of Storyrivers is to be capable of easy access to human knowledge where ever and whenever you require it. And the initial step towards this is to build a universal library with a free-to-read, searchable collection of a million books, and that is available to everyone across the Internet. Within a few years, we expect to increase to 10 million books. The outcome will be a unique source available to anyone in the world 24/7, without regard to nationality, social or economic background.

One of our goals is to implement full-text indexing support and searching when possible. The availability of searching online enables people to obtain relevant information quickly and reliably, therefore, improving success in the research results.

Until now managing and transportation of our cultural heritage was dependant on a limited number of copies in fragile forms. As such the task of preservation is much bigger than before but with new digital technology, this responsibility is within the reach of a single concerted effort for the public good, and we can use this effort in libraries, museums, and other groups in all countries.

Existing archives of paper have many weaknesses. Many other works still in existence now are very limited, and only available to a small population of scholars and collectors at specifics geographic locations. No one can manage to keep maintenance unless the archive is digital. Digital technology can make the products of man permanently available to billions of people all across the world. A universal digital library, broadly usable through free access on the Internet, will enhance the global society in ways beyond measurement. Only the internet can store a Universal Library that is free for everyone.
