In December 2006, Internet Archive was honored to receive a grant from
the Mellon Foundation for our ongoing development of the Heritrix web
crawler. Using this grant, we will be embarking on a 2 billion page web
crawl beginning in July. This will be the largest web crawl we have ever
attempted.
We are currently seeking url submissions for this historic crawl from
libraries and archives as well as other cultural and memory
institutions. We especially want international web content from a large
variety of countries, geographic regions and language bases.
Please help us gather this content! You will need a log in name/password
to contribute URLs. Contact [log in to unmask] for invitations.
