A global team of librarians and archivists has so far captured and preserved more than 2,500 Ukrainian museum and library websites that are at risk of being lost.
This project, known as Saving Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Online , has so far captured and preserved more than 2,500 Ukrainian museum and library websites that may include thousands of digitized historical documents, art, music, images, oral histories and other digital exhibits.
The project uses the digital archive Wayback Machine, part of the Internet Archive, and the web archiving tool Webrecorder, to help save the data. The risk of these collections disappearing comes from the risk of servers being destroyed during bombing of Ukraine cities. Some cities, such as the besieged port city of Mariupol, have been turned to rubble since Russian President Vladimir Putin sent his troops over the border on Feb. 24.
