Description

Since 1996, the Library and its nine partners have been archiving copies of significant Australian web sites and online publications into the PANDORA archive to ensure long-term access to this important Australian documentary heritage. In recognition of its significance, PANDORA : Australia's web archive was placed on the UNESCO Memory of the World Australian Register in August 2004.

  • Content ranges from single files, such as a text document in PDF, to large web sites, consisting of thousands of files in a variety of formats, including text, sound, image or video
  • In addition to government and academic publications, the Archive also includes sites representing cultural activity, Australia’s diverse peoples, community concerns, political activity such as election campaigns, sport, and many other topics. Many titles are re-gathered on a regular basis to capture updated content and changes to the appearance of the site
  • The ‘look and feel’ appearance and functionality, as well as the content of all the titles archived are maintained to the fullest extent possible. After gathering from the publisher’s web site, each title is checked to make sure it is complete and functional
  • Most titles in the Archive are freely accessible to anyone, anywhere in the world
  • Browse or search the archive for a particular title, or use keyword searching to find words anywhere within an archived web site or document
