Web Collaborations with the Smithsonian and the Library of Congress
If you were a K12 student which websites would you want to save for future generations? What would you want people to look at 50 or even 500 years from now?
These questions are central to the K12 Web Archiving Program, a partnership between the Internet Archive and the Library of Congress. Now in its fourth year, with 5th to 12th graders participating in schools across the country, this program provides a new perspective on saving history and culture, allowing students to actively participate and make decisions about what "at risk" website content will be saved.
Archive-It allows
institutions to build and preserve their own web archive of digital
content, through a user friendly web application, without requiring any
technical expertise or hosting facilities. Subscribers can harvest,
catalog, and archive their collections, and then search and browse the
collections when complete. Collections are hosted at the Internet
Archive data center, and accessible to the public with full text search.
Archive-It is designed to fit the needs of many types of
organizations and individuals. The over 200 partners include:
state archives, university libraries, federal institutions, state
libraries, non government non profits, museums, historians, and
independent researchers.
The 1,700 Collections captured by Archive-It range from subject
matters as diverse as "Political parties in Latin America" to the
"Matthew Shepard Web Archive" to the "2008 Beijing Olympic Games" to
"Iranian Blogs" to "North Carolina State Government Web Site Archive".
