Preserving all human knowledge for posterity. It is all-important.

Wikimedia servers, holding terabytes of text and images.

This page, a catalogue of catalogues of all human knowledge, is only 317,388 bytes in size. It can be stored on a 5¼-inch floppy disk.

The Voyager Golden Records are phonograph records (listen in YouTube) which were included aboard both Voyager spacecraft launched in 1977. They contain sounds and images selected to portray the diversity of life and culture on Earth, and are intended for any intelligent extraterrestrial life form, or for future humans, who may find them.

Imagine a universe in which every planet shares in the sum of all knowledge.

Knowledge as a social good and the Library of Babel in Wikimanía 2009. (Watch in YouTube)

The idea of compiling all human knowledge in a single work, although not in a single place, is highly seductive. In this project, we attempt to study how many articles are needed to cover the sum of all human knowledge. As of 26 September 2020, English Wikipedia has 6,164,135 articles and Wikidata includes 27,721,774 items. This page, still in expansion, estimates that the total notable articles figure is over 104,701,020. At current creation rate, 8,000 new items per day, Wikidata singularity will occur in the 2040s, in the same date range of technological singularity. It will be the first time in history that all human knowledge is stored in a machine-readable format and ready to be consumed, understood and used by computers or any device.

“ This is a work that cannot be completed except by a society of men of letters and skilled workmen, each working separately on his own part, but all bound together solely by their zeal for the best interests of the human race and a feeling of mutual good will. ” — Denis Diderot, L'Encyclopédie (1751–1766)

Many individuals devoted their lives to different efforts of knowledge compilation and preservation. Some inspiring cases are Vivian Maier, a nanny that took 150,000 photographs during her lifetime primarily of people and architecture; Paul Mawhinney, who archived a copy of every sold album growing a 3 million vinyl collection; Henry Spencer, a computer scientist that preserved over 2 million Usenet messages onto magnetic tapes or Marion Stokes, who recorded hundreds of thousands of hours of television news footage spanning 35 years.

“ Like all persons of the Library, I have traveled in my youth; I have wandered in search of a book, perhaps the catalogue of catalogues... ” — Jorge Luis Borges, The Library of Babel (1941)

Before Wikipedia, there were many attempts to compile all human knowledge in a single work. Some examples sorted by date include:

• Library of Alexandria (3rd century BC) in Egypt
• Naturalis Historia (AD 77–79) by Pliny the Elder
• Etymologiae (7th century) by Isidore of Seville
• De universo (9th century) by Rabanus Maurus
• Speculum Maius (13th century) by Vincent of Beauvais
• Yongle Encyclopedia (1403–1408) by Ming dynasty
• Bibliotheca universalis (1545–1549) by Conrad Gessner
• The abstracting and indexing project (17th century) by Gottfried Leibniz
• L'Encyclopédie (1751–1772) by Diderot and d'Alembert
• Mundaneum (1910) by Paul Otlet and Henri La Fontaine
• Encyclopædia Britannica (1911)
• And more recently Interpedia (1993) by Rick Gates, Internet Archive (1996) by Brewster Kahle and Wikidata (2012)

Also, hypothetical cases exist:

• Encyclopædia Galactica (1980) by Carl Sagan in Cosmos
• Permanent World Encyclopaedia (1936–1938) by H. G. Wells
• Memex (1945) by Vannevar Bush.

There are imaginary examples:

• "The Universal Library" (1901) by Kurd Lasswitz
• "The Total Library" essay and The Library of Babel (1941) by Jorge Luis Borges
• Encyclopædia Galactica (1942) in "Foundation" by Isaac Asimov
• The Akashic records.

Furthermore, there are thousands of archives, libraries and museums all over the world preserving human knowledge in several formats: books, manuscripts, journals, newspapers, magazines, sound and music recordings, videos, play-scripts, patents, databases, maps, stamps, prints, drawings and more. Some of the largest ones are: the British Library in the United Kingdom (170 million items), the Library of Congress in the United States (155 million items), the Russian State Library in Russia (43 million items), the National Diet Library in Japan (35 million items), the National Library of China (31 million items) and the Bibliothèque nationale de France (31 million items).

“ There is no practical obstacle whatever now to the creation of an efficient index to all human knowledge, ideas and achievements, to the creation, that is, of a complete planetary memory for all mankind. ” — H. G. Wells, World Brain: The Idea of a Permanent World Encyclopaedia (1937)

This project is focused in those entities which are notable and deserve an article in Wikipedia. For completeness of sister projects, see § Sister projects. For an estimate about lost knowledge, see § Destroyed knowledge and Wikipedia:There is a deadline. There is available a userbox {{User preserve all human knowledge}} and a shortcut WP:AHK.

Architecture

Architecture (Latin architectura, from the Greek ἀρχιτέκτων – arkhitekton, from ἀρχι- "chief" and τέκτων "builder, carpenter, mason") is both the process and product of planning, designing and construction. Architectural works, in the material form of buildings, are often perceived as cultural and political symbols and as works of art.

Estimates suggest that around 50 million journal articles have been published since the first appearance of the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society in 1665.
• An encyclopedia is a type of reference work, a compendium holding a summary of information from either all branches of knowledge or a particular branch of knowledge.
• A novel is a long prose narrative that describes fictional characters and events in the form of a sequential story.
• Poetry is a form of literary art in which language is used for its aesthetic and evocative qualities in addition to, or in lieu of, its apparent meaning. See also Outline of poetry.
• Theatre is a collaborative form of fine art that uses live performers to present the experience of a real or imagined event before a live audience in a specific place. See also Outline of theatre.

Human geography

1570 world map by Abraham Ortelius.

Human geography is the branch of the social sciences that deals with the study of people and their communities, cultures, economies and interaction with the environment by noticing their relations with and across space and place. As an intellectual discipline, geography is divided into the sub-fields of physical geography and human geography, the latter concentrating upon the study of human activities, by the application of qualitative and quantitative research methods.

Africa

Africa

Africa is the world's second-largest and second-most-populous continent. At about 30.3 million km² (11.7 million square miles) including adjacent islands, it covers six per cent of Earth's total surface area and 20.4 per cent of its total land area. With 1.1 billion people as of 2013, it accounts for about 15% of the world's human population. The continent is surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea to the north, both the Suez Canal and the Red Sea along the Sinai Peninsula to the northeast, the Indian Ocean to the southeast, and the Atlantic Ocean to the west. The continent includes Madagascar and various archipelagos. It contains 54 fully recognized sovereign states (countries), nine territories and two de facto independent states with limited or no recognition.

Africa hosts a large diversity of ethnicities, cultures and languages. In the late 19th century European countries colonized most of Africa. Africa also varies greatly with regard to environments, economics, historical ties and government systems. However, most present states in Africa originate from a process of decolonization in the 20th century.

Asia

Asia

Asia is Earth's largest and most populous continent, located primarily in the eastern and northern hemispheres and sharing the continental landmass of Eurasia with the continent of Europe. Asia covers an area of 44,579,000 square kilometres (17,212,000 sq mi), about 30% of Earth's total land area and 8.7% of the Earth's total surface area. The continent, which has long been home to the majority of the human population, was the site of many of the first civilizations. Asia is notable for not only its overall large size and population, but also dense and large settlements as well as vast barely populated regions within the continent of 4.4 billion people. Asia has 49 recognized states, 5 partially recognized and unrecognized states and 6 dependent territories and other territories.

Given its size and diversity, the concept of Asia—a name dating back to classical antiquity—may actually have more to do with human geography than physical geography. Asia varies greatly across and within its regions with regard to ethnic groups, cultures, environments, economics, historical ties and government systems. It also has a mix of many different climates ranging from the equatorial south via the hot desert in the Middle East, temperate areas in the east and the extremely continental centre to vast subarctic and polar areas in Siberia.

Europe

Europe

Europe is a continent that comprises the westernmost part of Eurasia. Europe is bordered by the Arctic Ocean to the north, the Atlantic Ocean to the west, and the Mediterranean Sea to the south. The eastern boundary with Asia is a historical and cultural construct, as there is no clear physical and geographical separation between them; Europe is generally considered as separated from Asia by the watershed divides of the Ural and Caucasus Mountains, the Ural River, the Caspian and Black Seas, and the waterways of the Turkish Straits.

Europe, in particular ancient Greece, was the birthplace of Western civilization. The fall of the Western Roman Empire, during the migration period, marked the end of ancient history and the beginning of an era known as the Middle Ages. Renaissance humanism, exploration, art, and science led to the modern era. From the Age of Discovery onwards, Europe played a predominant role in global affairs. Between the 16th and 20th centuries, European powers controlled at various times the Americas, most of Africa, Oceania, and the majority of Asia.

Europe has 50 recognised states, 6 partially recognised states, 6 dependent territories and 2 special areas of internal sovereignty.

South America

South America

South America is a continent located in the western hemisphere, mostly in the southern hemisphere, with a relatively small portion in the northern hemisphere. It is bordered on the west by the Pacific Ocean and on the north and east by the Atlantic Ocean; North America and the Caribbean Sea lie to the northwest.

Most of the population lives near the continent's western or eastern coasts while the interior and the far south are sparsely populated. The geography of western South America is dominated by the Andes mountains; in contrast, the eastern part contains both highland regions and large lowlands where rivers such as the Amazon, Orinoco, and Paraná flow. Most of the continent lies in the tropics.

The continent's cultural and ethnic outlook has its origin with the interaction of indigenous peoples with European conquerors and immigrants and, more locally, with African slaves. Given a long history of colonialism, the overwhelming majority of South Americans speak Portuguese or Spanish, and societies and states commonly reflect Western traditions.

South America has 13 sovereign states, 2 dependent territories and 1 integral territories of states outside of South America.

Oceania

Oceania

Oceania is a region centred on the islands of the tropical Pacific Ocean. The term was coined as Océanie circa 1812 by geographer Conrad Malte-Brun. The history of Oceania in the medieval period was synonymous with the history of the indigenous peoples of Australasia, Micronesia, Melanesia, Polynesia. The arrival of European settlers in subsequent centuries resulted in a significant alteration in the social and political landscape of Oceania.

Opinions of what constitutes Oceania range from its three subregions of Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia to, more broadly, the entire insular region between Southeast Asia and the Americas, including Australasia and the Malay Archipelago.

Oceania has 14 sovereign states, 2 states not members of the United Nations and 26 other territories.

Physical geography

Physical geography is that branch of natural science which deals with the study of processes and patterns in the natural environment like the atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and geosphere, as opposed to the cultural or built environment, the domain of human geography.

• Canals and navigations are human-made channels for water conveyance (supply), or to service water transport vehicles.
• A cave or cavern is a natural underground space large enough for a human to enter.
• A desert is a landscape or region that receives an extremely low amount of precipitation, less than enough to support growth of most plants.
• A forest, also referred to as a wood or the woods, is an area with a high density of trees.
• A glacier is a large persistent body of ice that forms where the accumulation of snow exceeds its ablation (melting and sublimation) over many years, often centuries.
• An island is any piece of sub-continental land that is surrounded by water.
• A lake is a body of relatively still fresh or salt water of considerable size, localized in a basin, that is surrounded by land.
• A mountain is a large landform that stretches above the surrounding land in a limited area usually in the form of a peak.
• A river is a natural watercourse, usually freshwater, flowing towards an ocean, a lake, a sea, or another river. There are 17 countries without rivers.
• A sea generally refers to a large body of salt water.

History

History (from Greek ίστορία - historia, meaning "inquiry, knowledge acquired by investigation") is the discovery, collection, organization, and presentation of information about past events. See also Outline of history.

• A coup d'état, also known as a coup, a putsch, or an overthrow, is the sudden deposition of a government, usually by a small group of the existing state establishment—typically the military—to depose the extant government and replace it with another body, civil or military.
• A disaster is a natural or man-made (or technological) hazard resulting in an event of substantial extent causing significant physical damage or destruction, loss of life, or drastic change to the environment. See also Lists of disasters and List of disasters by cost.
• An election is a formal decision-making process by which a population chooses an individual to hold public office. Elections have been the usual mechanism by which modern representative democracy has operated since the 17th century. Elections may fill offices in the legislature, sometimes in the executive and judiciary, and for regional and local government.
• Military history is a humanities discipline within the scope of general historical recording of armed conflict in the history of humanity, and its impact on the societies, their cultures, economies and changing intra and international relationships. WP:MHA#Statistics has over 127,000 articles as of this listing.
• A revolution (from the Latin revolutio, "a turn around") is a fundamental change in power or organizational structures that takes place in a relatively short period of time.

GLAM

GLAM is an acronym for "galleries, libraries, archives, and museums", although other versions of the acronym exist, such as LAM, which incorporates only libraries, archives, and museums. More generally, GLAMs are publicly funded, publicly accountable institutions collecting cultural heritage materials.

• An archive is an accumulation of historical records, or the physical place they are located. Archives contain primary source documents that have accumulated over the course of an individual or organization's lifetime, and are kept to show the function of that person or organization.

• A library is an organized collection of information resources made accessible to a defined community for reference or borrowing. It provides physical or digital access to material, and may be a physical building or room, or a virtual space, or both.

• A museum is an institution that cares for (conserves) a collection of artifacts and other objects of scientific, artistic, cultural, or historical importance and makes them available for public viewing through exhibits that may be permanent or temporary.
