CUL has investigated web archiving as a tool to continue our role in capturing the intellectual output of Cornell University, primarily through archiving the http://cornell.edu domain. Further, we are working to identify and archive the websites of Cornell entities who publish their content outside of the cornell.edu domain, which include the Cornell University Cooperative Extensions and over 300 student organizations.
In addition, Special Collections units in CUL have started archiving the websites of organizations who deposit their papers in our repositories.
In the past few months, CUL has started a pilot to investigate expanding this service to a topical general collecting area. The CUL Collection Development Executive Committee has chosen the area of Hydrofracking the Marcellus Shale for the pilot.
