In case anyone at the Archive is reading and wondering why we're such a paranoid lot:
Bitcoins are a little different from other online currencies where charges can be reversed in case of a scam. Bitcoins are like cash - once you give it to someone, it's theirs. That's both good (Things like this don't happen with Bitcoins) and bad (we have to do our own diligence).

Wow. That's the worst Paypal story yet.

Yeah. I've learned to not trust people here by default. It could be Obsi's address! Be careful until they have something official on their website.
Which is why I suggested confirming with her first. I have also left them a message to post it on the donate page, hopefully they will soon.
I posted this in their comments section:
---
Go here:
https://www.bitaddress.org
Publish the public address on your website. Keep the private address super secret.
Type your public address into http://blockexplorer.com/
to check your balance. When you make enough that you want to turn it into $, go to mtgox, import your private key, and set up a bank account for them to transfer money to.

I will donate if it is placed on the archive.org donate page along with paypal, not just on a blog post only. 5 BTC pledged here.

Woot! I'll send some bits their way once the address is confirmed on their site. 
They run a fantastic and important service. I encourage others to donate to this one.

They have set up a donation address. The address I received in an email from june (at) archive.org is

I will email her to update the post with the bitcoin donation address, or you can check with her for verification.
Let's show them how much we appreciate all the great work they do & that accepting bitcoin is a fantastic way to supplement their fundraising.
