The final report (in English) of Denmark's Netarkivet Project is now online. From the Introduction: "The overall purpose in establishing an Internet archive is thus to ensure the preservation of this contribution to the cultural heritage and thereby the source materials that will provide the foundation for future research not only into the Internet’s own history, but also into all the ever more comprehensive cultural, institutional and business activities that take place especially --and in some cases exclusively-- on the Internet or in close connection with it."

Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
