Australian library may archive porn sites
The National Library of Australia may soon start collecting pornographic websites to add websites to its extensive collection of erotica, according to its latest newsletter. Electronic librarian Edgar Crook wrote, "The examination of society and culture of a period by necessity involves the study of its sexual life. The erotic matter created in, for example, the Victorian era is of great interest to the modern historian. . . . With this in mind, it is clear that there is no merit in being coy today and therefore delivering an incomplete picture to future researchers."
