Why Were New York Government Websites Hidden From an Internet Archive for
13 Years? | Village Voice
it's remarkable that for the past 13 years, some of the most important
websites of New York State's government have been deliberately excluded
from the archive, their records hidden from public view. Sixty-three "
state.ny.us" addresses, to be exact, including the site of the New York
State Assembly. Even more remarkably, the problem wasn't noticed until now.
The exclusion wasn't an oversight by the archive itself. The group's
servers grab virtually every public webpage by default. According to the
Archive's Chris Butler, someone within the New York State government
requested, way back in 2001, that a broad swath of domains be eliminated
from the archiving process.
