Subject: [DIGLIB] Around the World in 2 billion pages

In December 2006, Internet Archive was honored to receive a grant from the 
Mellon Foundation for our ongoing development of the Heritrix web crawler. 
Using this grant, we will be embarking on a 2 billion page web crawl 
beginning in July. This will be the largest web crawl we have ever attempted.

We are currently seeking url submissions for this historic crawl from 
libraries and archives as well as other cultural and memory institutions. 
We especially want international web content from a large variety of 
countries, geographic regions and language bases.

Please help us gather this content! You will need a log in name/password to 
contribute URLs. Contact aroundtheworld at archive.org for invitations.

Here is the link:

Please contact Molly Bragg, mbragg at archive.org, with any questions.

Regards,
Kris
