Back from the beyond

Post – October 9, 2001

Got an e-mail today ostensibly from the Library of Congress, saying that ‘words mean things’ was going to be put into a digital collection of materials relating to 9/11/01. Anyone else get this e-mail? Webarchivist.org and The Internet Archive are listed as organizations affiliated with this effort. What’s interesting was, unlike some sort of advertising come-on (“you can be listed in this exclusive directory for only $49.95”), they didn’t ask you to go to any other site or otherwise respond. But then, why send the e-mail? If I’m not getting compensated for my site being included (if it in fact is), why tell me? This is interesting.

    There was a project where you could download a bookmarklet and use it to suggest sites to be archived. It’s legit. I submitted your page (probably some other folks, too).
