That's the crux, and it's a point that makes it urgent to get this done. EH et al can only inspect some sites every few years so getting the community to be the watchdog is crucial.

However, someone has put a comment on the Journal saying

"To be included in the open access web archive the site owner needs to nominate it. Since the e-legal deposit regulations came into force a few years ago it should be included in the whole UK domain web crawl, but the sites in that can presently only be viewed on a dedicated terminal in one of the UK copyright libraries".

I don't know what that all means but it seems a request needs to come from Mr Cope. Anyone here in touch with him?

I will ask fella to Twitter Mrs Dorian about it.
