What kinds of Web sites does the Library archive?
Library of Congress recommending officers, or curators, select a variety of Web sites to archive, depending on the theme of the collection activity. The Library’s MINERVA project was the initial pilot project to archive web sites. Event-based or thematic collections publicly available through the Library of Congress Web Archives Web site include Election 2002, September 11, Election 2004, and the 107th Congress Web archive. Categories of sites archived include, but are not limited to: United States government (federal, state, district, local), foreign government, candidates for political office, political commentary, political party, media, religious organizations, support groups, tributes and memorials, advocacy groups, educational and research institutions, creative expressions (cartoons, poetry, etc.), and blogs.
