Yesterday I wrote about the part that the individual collector may have to play in preserving our digital legacy. Libraries and museums are approaching the problem from the institutional side, and one of the most ambitious solutions is a mammoth project at The Library of Congress. The National Digital Information Infrastructure and Preservation Program (NDIIPP) is a federally funded project to preserve digital media on a super large scale. LC is now accepting applications from institutions interested in becoming NDIIPP project partners. Grants will range from $500,000 to $3,000,000. Institutions interested in preserving materials like web sites, electronic books and moving images have until November 12 to apply. Thanks AK.

My little redesign has had a glitch or two. The right navigation seems to sink to the bottom of the page on some browsers. I hope that efforts this morning fixed the problem. Thanks to the eagle eyes who pointed it out.
