Perma.cc has goal digital preservation
Perma.cc is a web archiving service for legal and academic citations founded by the Harvard Library Innovation Lab in 2013.Concept
Perma.cc was created in response to studies showing high incidences of link rot in both academic publications and judicial opinions. By archiving copies of linked resources, and providing them with a permanent URL, perma.cc is intended to provide longer-term verifiability and context for academic literature and caselaw. Perma.cc is administered by a network of academic and government libraries.
In 2016, Harvard received a $700,000 grant from the Institute for Museum and Library Services to expand development of perma.cc.
