The Bavarian State Library (BSB, https://www.bsb-muenchen.de/), a major research and archive library, operates an electronic long-term archive in which websites are also preserved permanently. Because of its academic relevance, the BSB is including our website in its electronic long-term archive. The copy is preserved there permanently, catalogued and made available for use; where necessary, further long-term preservation measures are carried out (e.g. migration to newer formats).
