webArchivist.org Still Archiving

There\’s more on webarchivist.org in The Washington Post, in case you missed the earlier stories we ran.

Volunteers from all over are joining the Library of Congress and Internet Archive in San Francisco to create a special digital archive, one that aims to re-create what appeared online in the hours, days and weeks after the Sept. 11 attacks. They plan to publish their re-creation on Oct. 11.


\”There is the potential for a new level of civic activism emerging,\” said Kirsten Foot, a professor at the University of Washington who is co-directing the effort. \”There\’s been a huge surge in people feeling compelled to make statements about the events online. We see it everywhere online, and we want to preserve a record of it.\”
