“Remembering  1916, Recording 2016” is our largest project to date and we wanted to reflect the participatory nature of this year by asking you to help us select sites for inclusion in the NLI Web Archive.

Working with its web-archiving partner, the Internet Memory Foundation, the NLI has now commenced the process of capturing and preserving these websites.

The Remembering 1916, Recording 2016 web archiving project has been made possible by support from the Department of Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs and Ireland2016 Centenary Programme.
