More Permanently Archived Web Content From the IA's Archive-It Service

More about the IA's Archive-It here and this EDUCAUSE Live webinar presentation from April 18, 2006. A new webinar directly from Archive-It is scheduled for August 7th.

All of these collections are keyword searchable. You can search one collection at a time or ALL collections simultaneously using the search box on the home page. Results pages like this one also contain direct links to The Wayback Machine to find other versions of the page (if available). Archive-It searches can be monitored using RSS (look for the link, lower right of any web results page). The search itself is powered by Nutch.

+ E-Print Network Special Collection

This collection provides searching of more than 1 million scientific e-prints.

+ TRAIL

This collection indexes the Web publications of Texas state agencies.

+ National Government Statistical Web Sites (Indiana University)

The web sites of statistical agencies of countries may contain data, reports, statistical yearbooks, press releases, methodological guides, and other information of continuing interest to social scientists and historians. Approximately 70 web sites from Sub-Saharan Africa, Central Eurasia, East Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, Oceania, Russia and Eastern Europe, South Asia, and Southeast Asia are included.

+ Amnesty International

+ Quaker and Peace Web Archives (Bryn Mawr, Haverford, and Swarthmore College)

Contains Swarthmore College and Haverford College websites as well as organizational websites of Society of Friends (Quaker) groups and peace groups.

+ Michigan Government Web Snapshot 2006 (Michigan Department of History, Arts and Libraries)

This collection is a snapshot of web pages created by Michigan government agencies from the executive, legislative and judicial branches that was taken in December 2006.

+ WORLD WITHOUT OIL

WORLD WITHOUT OIL is a collaborative alternate reality event simulating the first 32 weeks of a global oil shock. The gamemaster set the price of fuel and level of availability for each week, and challenged players to document their lives in this new energy-deprived reality. Players responded with over 1500 in-game stories, expressed in blogs, videos, phone calls, and images, that give WORLD WITHOUT OIL compelling depth and visceral realism.

Click to view the article Quilting big data threads
Thursday, 24th May 2012

Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.


Click to view the article Newsdesk: tracking millions of pieces of information a day
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?


Click to view the article Alacra Compliance adds managerial oversight
