The Libraries received a $716,000 grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to develop and implement a program for incorporating web content into the Libraries’ collections. Building on the results of a planning grant completed in 2008, the new three-year project will establish best practices for collecting, managing, preserving, and providing access to at-risk digital content, specifically in the subject area of human rights.
