This is a heads up that the National Library of NZ has embarked on a web harvest of the .nz domain as part of their legal mandate to collect and preserve NZ's online documentary heritage. They are outsourcing the work to the Internet Archive (Way Back Machine etc).
They are not checking ipv6 sites :-( Some of my websites are not going to be archived for the rest of eternity :-( and they are missing out on my great content and NZ's history.. Also if they don't harvest a website.. how do I get harvested? What about subdomains? or only if they are linked off another website the spider knows about them? Also how do they get the list of websites to harvest? I am pretty sure the DNC don't have permission to give a list of all .nz websites to someone else to harvest their websites? or do they?
