The sheer volume of the electronic data cultural stewardship organizations
need to keep is a challenge. The Twitter archive comprises tens of billions
of individual tweets and grows by several million tweets every hour. LC is
determining how best to manage, preserve and provide comprehensive access
to this mass of data.  Researchers have already requested uses of the
collection that includes the study of the geographic spread of the
dissemination of news, the spread of epidemics and the transmission of new
uses of language.
