Dear colleagues,
This is just to reiterate Teresa’s message about the UK Web Archive’s efforts to collect web content related to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.
The UK Web Archive (https://www.webarchive.org.uk/), a partnership of the 6 UK Legal Deposit Libraries, has been collecting UK websites since the early 2000’s. As well as archiving snapshots of the whole UK Web Domain, we have dozens of curated collections focussing on topics, themes and events of significance to the UK.
We’re actively collecting websites about the current outbreak and would be delighted if colleagues would like to contribute. Details of how to nominate websites for inclusion are here: https://www.webarchive.org.uk/ukwa/info/nominate. Alternatively, please email nominations to [log in to unmask]
We’re also working on an international collection with the International Internet Preservation Consortium (IIPC). Details of how to contribute to this collection are here: https://netpreserveblog.wordpress.com/2020/02/13/cdg-collection-novel-coronavirus/
Kind regards,
Nicola
