We have captured, preserved and added
10 new sites and video to our California Tobacco Control Web Archive collection. This collection of preserved web resources now has 90 sites and is growing every quarter but slowly and we need your help!
Many tobacco control efforts play out online and we can always use extra
hands (or fingers?) to help us preserve these websites that give context to the
issues! If you know of a site that should be included in our web
archive (currently only sites about tobacco issues in California),
please send
us the URL -
http://www.library.ucsf.edu/tobacco/contact
We are in the process of building a site nomination tool that will make it very easy to add a URL to our project and other future web archive projects but right now, it's the good old email...
A little background:
The focus of the CA Tobacco Control collection is to preserve websites and web resources
created by local government, advocacy groups, tobacco control
organizations, bloggers, news agencies and tobacco-industry front groups
surrounding contemporary California tobacco control public policy
efforts. This includes ordinances and bills regarding smoke-free areas, video focusing on ballot measures and public reactions to specific regulations, and web sites aimed at urging voter actions on bans or excise taxes.
