Archiving Made Easier

The Internet Archive has released new software, called Archive-It 1.5, that lets colleges and museums create their own searchable catalogs of data and multimedia. The software -- available for an annual fee of $10,000 -- allows institutions to manage digital collections comprising as many as 10 million items as part of the archive's main project, a comprehensive online library showing the evolution of every site on the Web.

A number of colleges, including the University of Toronto and Indiana University at Bloomington, have signed up for the service, the archive said.
