Do You Want Groklaw to Be Included in the Library of Congress's Historic Internet Materials Collections?

By Pamela Jones et al.

Groklaw has been selected by the Library of Congress for inclusion in its web archival project, in the category of Legal Blawgs. I feel incredibly honored and validated by this invitation. We have created a collection of materials that has recognized value to researchers and historians.

We have to give permission, though, and Groklaw isn't just me. It's you and me, so I thought I'd ask you how you feel about it. We have several choices. I can have them archive just the articles, or, if you grant permission, the articles with your comments. And we can decide who can access the collection, the public at large or just the Congress and on-site researchers and historians.

You can say no to everything related to your comments, absolutely, but this is offering to make us part of what researchers and historians will have access to, so they can tell the history of this time period with accuracy. And my personal feeling is that your comments are part of this history.
