A digital snapshot for our future... New Zealand web harvest

The National Library of New Zealand is conducting a national web harvest between 12 and 25 May. They'll
harvest every domain in the .nz country code, and some others from .com, .net and .org. If your site is outside .nz, you can apply to have your site harvested too. Read on to find out about the harvest, an awesome resource for the future...

The National Library exists to preserve New Zealand's social and cultural history, whether in the form of books, newspapers and photographs, or of websites, blogs and videos.

The New Zealand Web Harvest 2010 harvest recognises the importance of the internet in all areas of New Zealand society and culture by taking a 'snapshot' of the New Zealand internet in May 2010.

The harvest will run for approximately 14 days, from 12 to 25 May 2010.

The harvest will only collect publicly viewable web content. If your website, or parts of it, is password protected, this content will not be harvested.

If you have a website outside .nz, you can ensure it is harvested and added to the Library's collections by completing the Nomination form.
