Immigrant Archive Project (IAP) to form part of United States Library of Congress.

The Immigrant Archive Project has been identified as a historically and culturally significant website by the United States Library of Congress and has thus been designated for preservation.  The Immigrant Archive Project has been selected for archiving and will form part of the Latin American Studies (HLAS) Web Archive at the United States Library of Congress.

“The Library hopes that you share its vision of preserving digital content and making it available to current and future generations of researchers. As the internet has become an increasingly important and influential part of our lives, we believe the historical record would be incomplete if websites like yours are not preserved and made a part of it. In addition, we aim to preserve all of the publications and websites that are included in HLAS. We also believe that expanding access to the Library’s collections is one of the best ways we can increase opportunities for education and scholarship around the world.”
