Back in March this year, Davo and I were rather chuffed to learn that When there were Stations has been archived on PANDORA – the National Web archive of Online Publications. PANDORA (Preserving and Accessing Networked Documentary Resources of Australia) was established by the National Library of Australia back in 1996 and is now built in collaboration with other Australian state libraries and other cultural collecting organisations.
The PANDORA archive collects Australian web resources, preserves them, and makes them available for viewing. Access to the archive is made available to the public via the Pandora web site. Web sites are selected based on their cultural significance and research value. This then is testament to the work that Davo and our other contributors have done to preserve an important part of Australia’s Transport Infrastructure history. It also means that this site will remain available long after we forget to pay our hosting and domain fees (click our ads to help us avoid this!)
Interestingly enough, the archived version at PANDOR seems to run a lot quicker than the live version of the site…. Something I need to discuss with our ISP 🙂
Our archive page at the NLA is here (click the ‘date’ of archive link).
Great stuff Mike, congratulations to you both!
