Colleague Josh Painter reported at
Texas for Sarah Palin that the Alaska State Library has archived all of Governor Palin's press releases and photos using the
Archive It application (Painter, 2009, ¶1).
"[A]ll
the pages that were available before the transition will still be
available. The difference is that they are now in an archive instead of
at their former locations. The old web documents for then Gov. Palin
have new URLs (Painter, 2009, ¶4).
Gov. Palin's news releases, for example, are now in the Press Archive here (Painter, 2009, ¶5).
Commentary
This
blog drew heavily from Governor Palin's press releases which were fully
cited and referenced. Unfortunately, the reference URLs have gone
invalid since the transition. A link to the archived releases will be
posted in the right-hand sidebar so that readers can go to referenced
material. The archive is organized by month and year, so if you are
seeking a release written in January 2009, you go to that portion of
the archive and you will see it listed there.
The Alaska State
Library did a fantastic job with this archive and deserve our
gratitude...and thank you to Josh Painter for breaking this story on
his blog.
