Indisputably in the Library of Congress

We, at Indisputably, recently received the following unsolicited email:

The United States Library of Congress has selected your website for inclusion in the historic collection of Internet materials related to the Legal Blawgs Web Archive.  We consider your website to be an important part of this collection and the historical record.

The Library of Congress preserves important cultural artifacts and provides enduring access to them.  The Library’s traditional functions, acquiring, cataloging, preserving and serving collection materials of historical importance to foster education and scholarship, extend to digital materials, including websites.  Our web archives are important because they contribute to the historical record, capturing information that could otherwise be lost.  With the growing role of the web as an influential medium, records of historic events could be considered incomplete without materials that were “born digital” and never printed on paper.

It’s not clear exactly when Library of Congress archive of our blog will be publicly available, but it probably won’t be before April 2023.

In the meantime, you can search our own archive by clicking the looking glass icon in the upper right corner of the screen.  Some of the posts have tags at the end, and you can click the tags to find other posts on the same topic.  Since this blog started in 2007,  we have published almost 3000  posts, so there’s a lot you might want to read.
