New site on the Library’s leadership in preserving digital assets: “The Library of Congress has taken a collaborative approach to the collection and preservation of digital information in order to remain relevant and useful to Congress and its constituents in the digital age. No single institution can do the job of collecting, preserving and making available all the information in digital form that that students, teachers, researchers and lifelong learners have come to expect will be available at the touch of a mouse. In December 2000, Congress asked the Library to lead a collaborative project, called the National Digital Information Infrastructure and Preservation Program (NDIIPP), in recognition of the importance of preserving digital content for future generations. Congress passed special legislation (Public Law 106-554) appropriating $100 million to the Library of Congress to lead this effort. The goal of the program is to develop a national strategy to collect, archive and preserve the growing amounts of digital content, especially materials that are created only in digital formats, for current and future generations.”
