<p class=BmNormal>With the many contributions from IT History Society members,
the IT historical community at large, and partnering with the <a
href="http://www.internetarchive.org/">Internet Archive</a>, and <a
href="http://www.archive-it.org/">Archive-IT</a>, we are pleased to introduce
to you a unique searchable database of 233 international information technology
historical and archival collections. This searchable database today is
comprised of 2,433,522 documents which uses 195.16 gigabytes of storage.
Every 30 days, each one of the 233 sites is crawled and text indexed to include
changes and additions that have occurred at each collection, including new
sites that have been added to the database. Currently, 23 sites are
blocked from our crawl and we are taking steps to contact each webmaster to
have the sites unblocked.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=BmNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=BmNormal>The listing of all 233 sites that have information
technology historical significance are located at <a
href="http://ithistory.org/resource_sites/resource-sites.php">http://ithistory.org/resource_sites/resource-sites.php</a>
Try a few searches out and see the great results that can occur in a few
seconds. Yes, one can do these types of searches on Google. etc., but
here there is NO clutter, it is all about information technology search
results.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=BmNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=BmNormal>If you know of a site that might be included in the
database, please submit your suggestion at <a
href="http://ithistory.org/resource_sites/resource-form.php">http://ithistory.org/resource_sites/resource-form.php</a>
