Curators and public policy experts representing commercial, academic and non-profit organizations convened for a two-day meeting at the Library of Congress to explore strategies for preserving public policy content that has been made available only on the web.
As more and more of existing public policy content is only available on the web, the challenge of providing enduring access to, and long-term preservation of, public policy information is increasingly complicated. The Library’s National Digital Information Infrastructure and Preservation Program is exploring ideas about how to work with others to preserve this information.
NDIIPP is interested in this area as part of its work to catalyze development of a national collection of digital content though a national network of preservation partners. To date, the Program has engaged over 130 partners from the public and private sectors to work together to develop approaches and solutions for saving America’s digital heritage.
