In a project led by the BL (launched April 2013), material on 1bn webpages from nearly 5m UK websites, plus public tweets and Facebook entries, are being preserved for the historical record at six libraries in the UK and Ireland.
The aim is to produce a digital record of events and cultural and intellectual works to match traditional print. See the full story here:
