CFE Website joins National Library collection

The National Library of Ireland is now facing "the enormous challenge of how to collect and preserve websites of Irish interest for future generations".  The CFE website is to be included in the new collection of "Irish websites of scholarly, cultural and political importance".     As they wrote to us:

"Increasingly a huge amount of material of historical and cultural importance can only be found in digital form on websites.  The mission of the National Library of Ireland is to collect, preserve, promote and make accessible the documentary and intellectual life of Ireland.   We are creating a Web Archive with the aim of preserving Irish websites of scholarly, cultural and political importance"

The Clonakilty Favour Exchange website will be part of a collection of various websites of Irish interest identified for inclusion by the National Library and made available through the Library’s website www.nli.ie .

You can view a previous web archiving project relating to the General Election 2011 http://www.nli.ie/en/general-election-2011-web-archive.aspx .
