SDR Park – From June 2017
We were honored to learn that the Columbia University Libraries Web Resources Collection Program selected our Sara Roosevelt Park Coalition website for inclusion in its Avery Library Historic Preservation and Urban Planning web archive “to ensure its continuing availability to researchers“.
“The Avery Library Historic Preservation and Urban Planning web archive making “makes archival copies of important web resources for preservation and access purposes…to ensure its continuing availability to researchers.”
“Dear Sara D. Roosevelt Park Coalition,
The Columbia University Libraries Web Resources Collection Program has selected your organization’s website, https://sdrpc.mkgarden.org/, for inclusion in its Avery Library Historic Preservation and Urban Planning web archive making “makes archival copies of important web resources for preservation and access purposes…to ensure its continuing availability to researchers.”
The Avery Architectural and Fine Arts Library collects books and periodicals in architecture, historic preservation, art history, painting, sculpture, photography, decorative arts, city planning, real estate, and archaeology–and now makes archival copies of important web resources for preservation and access purposes.
Columbia University Libraries plans to collect your website at regular intervals using a web crawler (requiring no effort on your part) and to provide public online access to the archived version(s) of your website to ensure its availability to researchers.
Please note that the web crawler will not affect the performance or accessibility of your website.
We will also create a cataloging record for your website in the international online library catalog Worldcat and the Columbia University online library catalog, increasing the visibility of your website to the scholarly community. You can learn more about our program with these FAQ, and I’d be happy to answer any questions you have.
Please let me know if you have any concerns or objections to being included in the web archive by replying to this email.
Yours sincerely,
Web Resources Collection Coordinator Columbia University Librarie
