Archived since: Jan, 2020

Description:

In recent years, citizens of New York who are living on or around freshwater lakes have learned first-hand how inconvenient and at times dangerous harmful algal blooms (HABs) can be. Many have become involved in citizen science efforts, gathering water samples that can be analyzed for the presence of HABs. Meanwhile, local news sources, NGOs, and government organizations have undertaken efforts to educate the public about the risks of exposure to HABs, and some have shared strategies for reducing the potency and frequency of HABs in their communities. To capture this moment in time, Cornell University Library is preserving and making accessible selected websites identified as being reflective of how citizens are responding to the risk of HABs as well as how scientific information is being shared.

Hydraulic Fracturing in New York State Web Archive

Archived since: Aug, 2011

New York Climate Change Science Web Archive

Archived since: May, 2014

Description:

New York State is poised to become a leader in planning for and adapting to the impacts of climate change. Climate change science is a broad and diverse field, and sorting through and understanding the amount and detail of scientific information available is a challenge to scientists, engineers, policy makers and practitioners alike. To address these challenges the Northeast States for Coordinated Air Use Management (NESCAUM), Cornell University, State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry (SUNY-ESF) and the federal National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) have teamed up to create the New York Climate Change Science Clearinghouse (NYCCSC). Funded by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), the NYCCSC will be a regional, web-based interface for accessing data, documents, maps and information relevant to climate change adaptation and mitigation across New York State. Because the site is meant as a portal for discovery of a broad range of information held and maintained elsewhere, this collection will serve as an archive of the changing content climate change websites relevant to and discoverable via the NYCCSC.

Prison Labor

Archived since: Aug, 2022

Description:

The 2022 report, Captive Labor: Exploitation of Incarcerated Workers created by the ACLU, points out that two of every three incarcerated people (nearly 800,000 people) are workers within the federal and state prison systems. Yet, because the 13th Amendment protects against slavery and involuntary servitude except as punishment for a crime, those workers do not enjoy the same protections as workers on the outside. Minimum wage laws, the right to collective bargaining and unionization, and even worker safety laws do not apply to those working in American prisons. This webarchive seeks to capture the sites created by state and federal governments to promote and sell products made in prisons; sites created by groups that support the self-organization of incarcerated workers; and sites created by entities that advocate for improvements in the working conditions of incarcerated people.

Privacy Policies

Archived since: May, 2019

Description:

Libraries have a long tradition of protecting the privacy of patrons. When the contents of library collections was only print, librarians did things such as purge transaction records upon return of physical items. Libraries continue that practice for print items, but as more of our collection is licensed electronic resources hosted by a third party, we are finding that our traditional reader privacy approach is insufficient. As part of the Privacy-as-a-Service Cornell University Library is developing, we will be doing much more to monitor third party handling of patron data. This web archiving collection provides us with a method for collecting privacy statements from vendors automatically, today and into the future.
