The Graduate Center Library will archive your GC website with Archive-It, the Internet Archive’s subscription-based tool. Archive-It is created by the Internet Archive, a non-profit digital library offering free universal access to books, movies & music, as well as 456 billion archived web pages. The IA’s Wayback Machine already systematically crawls the web, including the GC’s sites. But with Archive-It, we can direct the Wayback Machine to your site at a point in time that we determine, and set the frequency of crawls. The Library already uses Archive-It to capture and archive online graduate work at the point of graduation. But Archive-It can preserve many more features of the Graduate Center’s activity, allowing our work to be referenced and remembered after the website has changed.

The founder of the Internet Archive, Brewster Kahle will be at the Graduate Center on Monday April 20th for the annual Friends of the Library Lecture.

If you have a digital project, an online journal, or a special event represented on your site that you want to be certain to capture for posterity, contact the GC Library’s Digital Services Librarian, Stephen Klein, to discuss.
