Digital Preservation Project for Government Web Pages of Bush Presidency

Project will preserve Bush administration Web sites, By Jill R. Aitoro: “More than 100 million Web pages from President Bush’s second term will be preserved for historians, researchers and the public, thanks to a joint effort announced on Thursday of government agencies and non-profit libraries. The Library of Congress and Government Printing Office, in partnership with the California Digital Library, University of North Texas Libraries and Internet Archive, will harvest and archive all Web sites that could change under a new presidential administration. The total amount of data in the collection, which will focus on executive and legislative branch sites, is expected to reach 10 to 12 terabytes.”
