National Archives Cuts Back On Web Site Archiving 45
hhavensteincw writes "The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) is coming under fire for a new policy to stop the "harvesting" of a digital snapshot of all federal agency and Congressional Web sites after every Presidential and Congressional term. NARA, which archived more than 75 million Web sites in 2004 after George Bush's first term ended, will not harvest agency and Congressional Web sites when his current term is over because it says agencies are supposed to be archiving Web content on their own. But NARA has been criticized by some for opting out of preserving these important historical archives on the Web."

Frankly, I'd have thought the bastard would be more palatable to lefties than to the Buckley crowd -- then again, it may just be that the neocons have confused the definitions so much as to make them meaningless.
