From midnight tonight, the British Library is to store
every Web page from England, Scotland, and Wales for evermore!

Of course this is nothing new for the British library.
It has been storing every British publication that has come out every day.....for hundreds of years.
It already had the largest Library in the world when the US Library of Congress was first started.
Every Book (1st edition), Pamphlet, Newspaper, Maps etc
that has ever come out in the UK.....have been stored underground, by law for the last 300 years.
There are miles and miles of underground shelves holding
billions of Newspapers and Books etc.

This is increasing every day and now the British library is going to collect and file Every British Web site, on a daily basis...forever....in six huge servers, for starters!
They state the average Web site page only last about 72 days,
...And that they have already lost 20 years of records, before coming to this decision.
