The library uses the outside service Archive-It to harvest and provide access to archived web sites.  We have multiple collections in Archive-It, including collections for the #metoo project, the Long 19th Amendment, and Capturing Women's Voices (our original pilot project to capture blogs).  Web sites attached to manuscripts collections are collected as part of Schlesinger Library Sites.  As mentioned above, be sure to check to see if a web site you want to harvest for your collection is part of this specific the Schlesinger Library Sites collection. In the public display of Archive-It, you can search at the specific collection level by selecting the collection first.
