What about UK ones?--Darrelljon 11:56, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
I added some links outside the US (including some UK ones) and changed the structure a little. There are many projects going on as we speak, so the list will probably grow imensly in the future. --JJ-Hammer 12:43, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
Add anything you can find. Its sad the the US Library of Congress has been talking about doing this for 5 years, and so far all I see are several white papers discussing the project. Should we include news magazines? --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 17:00, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
Many online archives do not distinguish beteeen types of publications at all. The Icelandic part of the VESTNORD projects includes Alþingisbókin which - I think - is Icelandic parliamentary protocols and the Faroese part includes Færöernes Kundgörelsessamling and Føroya kunngerðasavn A og B which are annual gazette colletions or official announcements of legal rules. I am also considering adding Løgtingstíðindi, which is an annual publication of Faroese matters of parliament.
Given the broad spectrum of content of many of the archives it is hard to justify any narrow definiton of the content in this list. For the time being I suggest including everything. But when the list has grown somewhat it could be devided into several lists with different content. When such a division is being done, many of the online archives should probably be included several lists due to the broad spectrum of their content.
We could prepare for such a future division by supplying every entry with predefined keywords describing the types of publications included in that particular archive. That would make also it easier for reasearchers to find good texts for their research. I suggest the keywords newspapers, news magazines, gazettes, parliamentary protocols and the obvious other or other publications.--JJ-Hammer 14:44, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
