TITLE: Web Archiving

POSTED DATE: 10/7/2009
RUNNING TIME: 3:10

DESCRIPTION:
Web content changes all the time. If we don't save that content before it disappears, a major part of our cultural history will be lost.

The Library of Congress is working to provide permanent access to web content of historical importance. It selects websites for collection, requests permissions from the website owners, addresses the technology of collecting websites and preserves the websites and makes them available.

This video examines those four challenges.
