The service should also allow for remote hosting and managing of the collections, as well as the ability to make the collections publicly accessible within the context of other archived web collections by cultural heritage institutions. The collections should be accessible via a text search engine and a tool to render the archived webpages from their original, unaltered form. All data and information collected through the service shall be stored at a remote data center. NLM shall need the ability to obtain copies of its data via hard drive or Internet transfer.

Many national, academic, research and state libraries and archives have identified the web crawling technology developed by the Internet

Archive as the most efficient and effective way of collecting these web materials. The Internet

Archive has developed the tool, Archive-It, to provide web archiving services for government, educational and non-profit organizations. The collected NLM materials have been hosted in

California at the Internet Archive's data center.

The Internet Archive stores the collections in an internationally approved standard structure and in the future, NLM will have the capability to bring the materials into the NLM Digital

Collections repository.

The Internet Archive, a non-profit organization based in San Francisco, California, has been crawling the web and making available web snapshots since 1996. Some national libraries have legal mandates to collect and archive their web domains. A group of libraries and archives from around the world, in conjunction with the

Internet Archive, have formed an international organization, the International Internet

Preservation Consortium (IIPC), to acknowledge the importance of international collaboration for preserving Internet content for future generations. The IIPC fosters the development and use of common tools, techniques and standards for
