The idea that an organization can store snapshots of the entire contents
of the internet--over and over again--is unbelievable. More power to
'em, but aside from potential legalities there must be some
physical/technical limits to what they're capturing. Anyone know?

Hello everyone,
I want to mention to any readers of this forum who are not aware, that
there is a cheap alternative to documenting your employer's website.
The Internet Archive -- http://www.archive.org/ -- has been recording
the Internet since 1996. Brewster Kahle, the founder of the Internet
Archive saw the need to preserve a record of the Internet in part
because he is the inventor of the WAIS -- Wide Area Information Server,
the Internet's first distributed search system.
The Internet Archive has recently been involved in litigation about
whether it has the right to record Internet sites, and I remain a
supporter of their work and accomplishments. To learn more about their
work, please see the section of their website titled: "About IA."
For those recordkeeping professionals who do not have the resources and
storage location to document their employer's web site, I recommend
evaluating their service.
This is my opinion, and not my employer's.
Sincerely,
Jeff
Jeffrey Carter
