Internet heritage
The British Library and the National Library of New Zealand are working on a open source tool that will help preserve current websites for the future.
As more and more information goes online the race is on to create meaningful digital archives.
The web curator tool automates the process of collecting and storing information.
It will become a key part of the British Library’s existing digital preservation programme.
The web curator tool that was developed will be available to other organisations as an open source release by the end of the year.
