Had a request from the British Library to add the AEBBA site to the national archive.
I have complied and registered it under the National Secretary, currently Dave.
It does not appear to be spoof, which was my original assumption. We are selected on the basis of
Contributors to the UK Web Archive select websites according to their own collection development policies and areas of expertise. Selected websites are considered to be of long term research value, either in themselves or as part of a Special Collection of themed materials. Typically, archived websites publish research, reflect the diversity of lives, interests and activities throughout the UK, or demonstrate web innovation. They are chosen to represent a range of social, political, cultural, religious, scientific or economic activities. Members of the public, including website owners themselves, are welcome to nominate a website for the archive.
See www.webarchive.org.uk/ukwa/
Better keep the game going for a bit longer!!
Also raises the question of a nominated successor for myself when I finally settle back to my pipe and slippers! ;D
