Yesterday in a meeting for our Digital Initiatives Advisory Group we were discussing what collections we should consider sending over to the UofT Internet Archive shop, and I asked an innocent newbie question - So, do we have copies of everything we have had the Internet Archive digitize? NOPE. No big deal. We’re in the infant stages of creating a digital preservation program here, and everything that comes with it. INFRASTRUCTURE!

Just an easy way to help out!

Do you have a computer or server sitting around running Linux, and want to help out a good cause? Then you should check out one of the active Archive Team projects. "Archive Team is a loose collective of rogue archivists, programmers, writers and loudmouths dedicated to saving our digital heritage." Basically, this wonderful group of people monitors the internet for sites/services that are about to disappear, and do their absolute best to make sure these things are preserved.
