How does the Library’s Web Archiving program relate to the National Digital Information and Infrastructure Preservation Program (NDIIPP)?
In 2004 the Library formed the Web Archiving team to support the National Digital Information Infrastructure and Preservation Program’s (NDIIPP) strategic goal to manage and sustain at-risk digital content. The team’s focus has been on technologies, tools, and infrastructure to assist Library staff in building born-digital Web collections. In the Library’s role as administrator of NDIIPP, the Web Archiving team also collaborates on two NDIIPP projects: The Web-at-Risk: A Distributed Approach to Preserving Our Nation’s Political Cultural Heritage, led by the California Digital Library, and The ECHO DEPository, led by the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
