The breezy name “CyberCemetery” doesn’t quite convey the significance of this University of North Texas (UNT) Libraries service: archiving expired federal Web sites and making them permanently accessible to the public. The university has been a partner in the National Digital Information Infrastructure and Preservation since 2004. The CyberCemetery is working with the California Digital Library on a project called the Web-at-Risk, which is developing Web archiving tools that will be used by libraries to capture, curate and preserve collections of Web-based government and political information.
