[liberationtech] Government website harvesting

[Shelley]

There is also this effort:
https://blog.archive.org/2016/11/29/help-us-keep-the-archive-free-accessible-and-private/

Which is broader in scope than this, http://eotarchive.cdlib.org/2016.html, 
which is mentioned in the WaPo article.

FAQ:
http://blog.archive.org/2016/12/03/faqs-about-the-internet-archive-canada/

Please note: I'm passing this along as something that might be of interest 
to you and the greater list, given your inquiry.  I am not personally 
involved with this project, but I do agree that the proactive preservation 
of crucial information across several disciplines is very important right now.
