Archive-It allows institutions to build and preserve their own web archive of born digital content, through a user friendly web application, without requiring any technical expertise or hosting facilities. Subscribers can harvest, catalog, and archive their collections, and then search and browse the collections when complete. Collections are hosted at the Internet Archive data center, and accessible to the public with full text search.

Archive-It is designed to fit the needs of many types of organizations and individuals. The over 125 partners include: state archives, university libraries, federal institutions, state libraries, non government non profits, museums, historians, and independent researchers.

The 950 Collections captured by Archive-It range from subject matters as diverse as “Political parties in Latin America” to the “Matthew Shepard Web Archive” to the “2008 Beijing Olympic Games” to “Iranian Blogs” to “North Carolina State Government Web Site Archive”.
