There’s a new organization in town called the international internet preservation consortium – welcome” href=”http://netpreserve.org/about/index.php”>International Internet Preservation Consortium. It’s made up of the national libraries of Australia, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Iceland, Italy, Norway, Sweden, The British Library (UK), The Library of Congress (USA) and the Internet Archive (USA) (Way to go Brewster Kahle!)

The detailed work of the Consortium will be carried out through working groups to define Policy, Requirements, Methods, Standards and Tools for Internet archiving. By this means projects will be developed and defined and will ultimately lead to the creation and provision of the necessary tools to fulfil the vision of universal coverage of internet archive collections.
