Students can help archive the Internet

From the Library of Congress:

There is a growing awareness among libraries, archives, and other cultural institutions of the importance and urgency of preserving the often transitory digital cultural artifacts 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 which records are historically significant. In order to broaden this perspective, the Internet Archive, the Library of Congress and California Digital Library launched the K-12 Web Archiving Program.
