Since 2012, Cornell University Library (CUL) has been archiving websites in an attempt to preserve these ephemeral resources for future scholarship and research. To accomplish this, CUL has used the tool Archive-It, a service of the Internet Archive; the CUL collection can be viewed at: <span style="color: #b31b1b">[</span><span style="color: #b31b1b"><a href="http://www.archive-it.org/organizations/529">http://www.archive-it.org/organizations/529
</a></span>|http://www.archive-it.org/organizations/529]. To inquire further about this project, email [cul_webarchivist@cornell.edu|mailto:cul_webarchivist@cornell.edu]
Areas being Archived:
Cornell University Websites:
Cornell University Library (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.
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. If you are a member of a Cornell-affiliated organization with a website without "cornell.edu" in the URL, please let us know; email cul_webarchivist@cornell.edu
Special Collections organizations:
Special Collections units across CUL have started archiving the websites of organizations who deposit their papers in our repositories.
Hydrofracking the Marcellus Shale
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. If you would like to nominate a website for inclusion in this collection, email cul_webarchivist@cornell.edu
