A Thousand Reasons

A Thousand Reasons to enter UK Web Archive

Wed, 11 Apr 2012 10:47:09 +0100

We have just completed the licensing process that will allow the British Library to add A Thousand Reasons and its content to the UK Web Archive, which “contains sites that reflect the rich diversity of lives and interests throughout the UK”.

Allowing the site’s content to be added to the archive will ensure that it is accessible for many years to come, something that is difficult for individual sites to achieve.
