Description:
The Eastern Europe and Former Soviet Union Web Archive is an initiative developed by librarians at Columbia, Princeton, Yale, and New York Universities, and the New York Public Library, in partnership (as the Ivy Plus Libraries Confederation), with Brown University, the University of Chicago, Cornell University, Dartmouth University, Duke University, Harvard University, Johns Hopkins University, and the University of Pennsylvania. The collection is curated by Thomas Keenan (Princeton), Robert Davis (Columbia), Anna Arays (Yale), Erik Zitser (Duke), Alla Roylance (New York University), and Bogdan Horbal (New York Public Library). The Archive represents an effort to preserve research-valuable web content from Eastern Europe and the territories of the Former Soviet Union by a group of research librarians responsible for that part of the world. The countries of the region in recent years have been publishing a wide variety of websites likely to be of value to contemporary and future humanities, social science, and history projects, and this Archive has been established as an attempt to identify, capture, and preserve this material. The thematic and generic scope of the archive is deliberately broad, and includes websites published by political parties, non-governmental organizations and activist groups, artists and cultural collectives, and historians, philosophers, and other intellectuals. Recommend a website for inclusion.

Description:
The Historical Representation at American House Museums Web Archive aims to document the changing interpretation and presentation of the experiences of working people and immigrants, the lives of the enslaved, the contributions of women, LGBT individuals, indigenous peoples, and various ethnic groups at historic house museums in the United States. House museums have been a key component of historic preservation in America since the mid 19th century. Until recently, house museums largely interpreted the lives of great
men (and, on rare occasions, women), first and second generation settlers in America, or the work of master architects such as Frank Lloyd Wright or Stanford White. More recently, many house museums have begun changing their focus to include the experiences of underrepresented peoples, including but not limited to the groups mentioned above. Websites have in many cases replaced printed guidebooks in disseminating the social history of these sites. The Historical Representation at American House Museums Web Archive is curated by librarians, library workers, and professors at Columbia University (Andrew S. Dolkart and Chris Sala) and Johns Hopkins University (Holly Tominack), under the auspices of the Ivy Plus Libraries Confederation.
