We were flattered, yesterday, to receive an invitation from the British Library to participate in a Web Archiving pilot:
The British Library would like to invite you to participate in this pilot project by archiving your web site... We have judged this web site to be an important part of our documentary heritage and would like it to remain available to researchers in the future. If the pilot is successful the archived copy of your web site will subsequently form part of our permanent collections.
Copyright will remain unaffected: "You still retain full copyright in your web site, both in the live version of your web site and the archived version in the Consortium?s archive. If any third party wanted to copy more than an insubstantial portion (as defined by the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988) either from the live version of your web site or from the archived version, they would still be obliged to seek your permission."
