So, got this email today...I thought it was pretty cool. To Whom It May Concern: The United States Library of Congress has selected your website for inclusion in the Librarys historic collection of Internet materials related to the U.S. 2014 Election. We consider your website to be an important part of this collection and the historical record. The Library of Congress preserves the Nations cultural artifacts and provides enduring access to them. The Librarys traditional functions, acquiring, cataloging, preserving and serving collection materials of historical importance to the Congress and the American people to foster education and scholarship, extend to digital materials, including websites. The following URL has been selected: lutherlee4congress In order to properly archive this URL, and potentially other URLs of interest on your site, we may archive both this URL and other portions of your site, including public content that your page links to on third party sites such as Facebook, YouTube, etc. The Library of Congress or its agent will engage in the collection of content from your website at regular intervals and may include it in future collections. The Library will make this collection available to researchers at Library facilities and by special arrangement. The Library is collaborating with other libraries and governmental institutions to build a comprehensive archive of Election 2014 websites, and may share the archived site with its partners. The Library may also make the collection available more broadly by hosting the collection on the Librarys public access website no earlier than one year after our archiving has been completed. The Library hopes that you share its vision of preserving web materials about the U.S. Elections and permitting researchers from across the world to access them. Our web archives are important because they contribute to the historical record, capturing information that could otherwise be lost. With the growing role of the web as an influential medium, records of historic events could be considered incomplete without materials that were born digital and never printed on paper. For more information about these web archive collections, please visit our website (loc.gov/webarchiving/). If you have questions, comments or recommendations concerning the web archiving of your site please e-mail the Librarys Web Archiving Team at [email protected] at your earliest convenience. You may also want to visit our frequently asked questions page at: loc.gov/webarchiving/faq.html. Thank you.
