Websites get legal place in national archive (英國衛報)

Millions of website pages, online magazines and CDs will be saved for the nation under a private member's bill which became law last week(2003).

Today, the MP who sponsored the bill predicted that Guardian Unlimited website pages would be preserved in the national archive.

The Legal Deposit Law puts the growing number of electronic publications on the same footing as printed newspapers, books and documents which have been collected by law since 1911 for the use of scholars by the British Library and five other deposit libraries.
