Archive-It

        Archive-It is a web application that allows partners to collect, catalog, manage, access, search, and archive their institution's digital data collections. Archive-It was launched in 2006 and is a subscription service that provides archives with the ability to build and preserve digital collections. The Archive-It application is a division of the Internet Archive which is the world's largest non-profit public web archive that has been around since 1996. The Internet Archive seeks to provide the accessibility of data from the internet by permanently storing digital content for any one to view at any time.
   
       Archive-It can be used to archive any digital content to allow organizations to create collections to preserve the history of their institutions, archive materials that are no longer offered in print form, keep records to meet university retention polices, collect social media sites, gather web content that enhances other digital or physical holdings, and to harvest online art ephemera. The features of the Archive-It application provide curator controls to apply Dublin Core metadata standards, downloadable reports to review the collection, and automated Quality Assurance Tools. The specific types of digital content that can be archived through this application are html, images, video, audio, PDF, social networking sites, blogs, online newspapers and most other web content. The archived collection is copied and stored at the Internet Archive's data centers and can be downloaded or shipped to the institution.
