Internet Archive Project - Library of Congress
From the Library of Congress; apply to be part of the Internet Archive k-12 project http://www.loc.gov/teachers/
Could your school be one of 10 middle or high schools helping to capture and archive today’s primary source materials on the Web?
A small number of individuals and institutions recognize the importance of archiving and preserving the often transitory digital cultural artifacts that are distributed over the Web. But so far, the vast majority of decisions about what Web sites will live into the future have been made by adults, and reflect adults’ sensibilities about what constitutes the important stuff of history. The Internet Archive, the Library of Congress and California Digital Library are collaborating on a project that explores archiving the Web from the perspective of adolescents.
Find a complete project description and the brief application in the "Featured Resources" section at http://www.loc.gov/teachers/. Apply by September 30 for full consideration.
