National Library of Scotland to Preserve Blogs

The National Library of Scotland has decided that some new forms of digital source materials merit a spot in the library's digital collection.

The websites and blogs of leading cultural figures, including writers such as JK Rowling and Alasdair Gray, will become prime exhibits.

Digital curators will also save digital source material such as personal e-mails, which they believe will be used as primary research material by academics and biographers. (The Sunday Times)
