Part of the NDIIPP funded Web at Risk Project, was to report out on the collections we were building. Each curatorial partner was asked to provide a snapshot of our work in the form of a powerpoint. This is my contribution.
CDL Web at Risk Project, UCLA Local and NGO Collections
1. UCLA Library Los Angeles Government and
Nongovernmental Web Publications
As part of the NDIIPP Web-at-Risk project, the UCLA Library will create a local
government agency and non-governmental web archive. Two exemplary
issues that these agencies cover are “Homelessness in Los Angeles” and the
“LA River”. These issues are of particular research and social value to the
academic community and general public for the study of Los Angeles. The
collection will provide significant information about the current and historical
context for the study of homelessness in the LA area. The following slides
illustrate the types of materials to be preserved in this collection.
