Electronic records and digital preservation catch your fancy? If you're an archivist or historian or just plain anyone worried about the digital future, The Ten Thousand Year Blog is for you. The title is inspired by physicist and speculative fiction author Gregory Benford's Deep Time: How Humanity Communicates Across Millennia (01999). My review of this book appears in the Association of Canadian Archivists' journal Archivaria no. 52 (Fall 02001). David Mattison. If you wonder about the "0" in front of the years, see my post for 02002 11 11 about the Long Now Foundation.

Election 2002 Web Archive
From the site, "The Election 2002 Web Archive is a selective collection of nearly 4,000 sites archived between July 1, 2002 and November 30, 2002. The initial March 4th, 2003 release of the Election 2002 Web Archive includes web sites produced by congressional and gubernatorial candidates. Future releases will include party, interest group, press, government, civic, and other selective web sites related to the 2002 national and statewide elections. Additional materials will be made available as the collection is processed for long-term preservation....The user interface for the Election 2002 Web Archive, created by WebArchivist.org in consultation with the Library of Congress, enhances the accessibility of archival records by allowing visitors to search campaign sites on multiple fields and access a Web archive record for each site.

"Electronic archiving enforcement lacking"
From the article, "Although the National Archives and Records Administration and the Library of Congress are striving to develop guidance about electronic archiving, no common practices and policies are being enforced within government, experts said last week. One of the most pervasive concerns in the archiving world is that a lack of tools and standards has already caused millions of electronic records and historical documents to be lost through technical obsolescence."
