[Air-L] Government website harvesting

[Joy McNally]

Thanks, Jess! I didn't realize that one was quite as collaborative as it was. I'll dig a little deeper.

There’s the End of Term 2016 web archive that is being coordinated by the Internet Archive, Library of Congress, University of North Texas and others:

https://github.com/end-of-term/eot2016<http://eotarchive.cdlib.org/2016.html>

There’s other links there to nomination tool hosted at UNT, background information and their listserv.

Hope that helps,
Jess

Thanks, Kalev. I had read that as a solicitation around the results and reaction, not necessarily government pages that will be updated after the transition. I’ll reach out to the Internet Archive for clarification.

Thanks!

Joy, the good folks over at the Internet Archive are actually running a special collection push along these very lines:

I was wondering if someone has created a running list of who is harvesting government websites ahead of the US government transition next month. There have been a few articles published in the past couple of days focusing on individual efforts, but it seems a lot of groups might be overlapping what they are archiving.

Here's a good article discussing a few of the efforts:

Scientists are frantically copying U.S. climate data, fearing it might vanish under Trump https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/energy-environment/wp/2016/12/13/scientists-are-frantically-copying-u-s-climate-data-fearing-it-might-vanish-under-trump/


Thanks for any leads! (And apologies if it's off-topic)
