British Library To Archive Internet Sites
Posted: 22nd Jun, 2004 By: MarkJ
Not dissimilar to placing a time capsule of information in the ground, the British Library is planning to do the same with it's two-year project to archive 6,000 UK websites:
According to the backers of the project, there is a real danger that valuable educational, cultural and scientific resources on the web could be lost in the future.
To counter this, six leading UK institutions have got together to work out how to best preserve British websites.
Each member of the group will be responsible for archiving websites relevant to their interests. So the Welsh and Scottish national libraries would collect material reflecting the nations' history and culture.
The finished archive is expected to go live sometime during January 2005. More @ BBC News Online.
