Though congressional #archives provide necessary documents for #scholarship, they can be difficult to manage. The American Congress Digital Archives Portal seeks to rectify this by providing #open access through an online portal.

A new blog post in a series from the PEGI Project "What is Government Information?” It’s important to define what it is that we’re working to preserve since there are many regulatory definitions out there. https://t.co/x0o90UTfn1

With the help of the ace @nytimes digital team, we compiled a list of ~2.2 million externally-facing hyperlinks that had been used in https://t.co/u4ahBLOaMu articles since its launch in 1996. The goal was to discern how many of them had fallen victim to linkrot or content drift.

Congratulations, Alex and Colin!

#FridayChartGODORT @PEGIProject Harvesting a website is one thing... but making publications (housed on gov website) accessible and findable is a whole other issue.

#FridayChartGODORT @PEGIProject There's a civic engagement component of @PEGIProject that's critical/necessary... a good model to follow is @civicswitch: libraries working together rather than in isolation.

#FridayChartGODORT @PEGIProject Be on the lookout for the Anita Schiller Digital Government Information Library... named after a dear friend, library doyenne, and advocate of free government info.
