Internet Archive's subscription service, Archive-It, allows institutions to build and preserve collections of born digital content, through a user friendly web application, without requiring any technical expertise or hosting facilities. Subscribers can harvest, catalog, manage and archive their collections, and then search and browse the collections when complete. Collections are hosted at the Internet Archive data center, and accessible to the public with full text search. Our partner support provides a user manual, training and guidance throughout your collection building process, with a Partner Support Specialist available to assist you.

This project from Stanford University archives a large number of blogs from Iran and Iranians around the world beginning in March 2008. Knowledge of Farsi is essential for reading the blogs.
British Slave Trade Legacies
The Abolition of the Slave Trade Act, passed in 1807, was the start of a successful process that outlawed the African slave trade worldwide. After centuries of suffering, millions of African slaves were eventually freed and millions of lives saved. Those who worked so hard in the 18th and 19th century to abolish slavery would be shocked to find that there was still so much work to be done 200 years later. On this 200th anniversary, slavery has changed but it has not been eradicated. The sites archived here catalog the anniversary and the programs created to educate the public.
Texas State Library and Archives Commission: TRAIL
The Texas Records and Information Locator (TRAIL) provides a search interface for the archived websites of over 180 state agencies. TRAIL provides a good example of how Archive-It results may be integrated into a partner's website.
Archive-It is designed to fit the needs of many types of organizations and
individuals. The over 50 partners include: state archives, university
libraries, federal institutions, state libraries, non-government non-profits,
museums, historians, and independent researchers.
We have some exciting developments scheduled for Archive-It in 2008, including:
- A K-12 web archiving pilot project with schools around the country
- Spanish and Chinese User Interface to encourage web archiving with global partners
- Crisis, Tragedy, and Recovery web crawl service for spontaneous collections
