The Australian Library has acknowledged the importance of Online Memorials as a valuable resource for preserving Australian history.
Since 2009, the Library has undertaken the commendable task of annually backing up the Online Memorials website, ensuring its content is archived for posterity.
This recognition by the Australian Library underscores the significance of Online Memorials in documenting the lives and stories of Australians. The website serves as a platform for commemorating individuals and their contributions to the nation’s social, cultural, and historical tapestry.
The archived versions of Online Memorials can be accessed through the National Library of Australia’s web archive at https://webarchive.nla.gov.au/tep/105381. This allows researchers, genealogists, and future generations to explore these online memorials and gain valuable insights into Australian history and personal narratives.
The Australian Library’s initiative highlights the increasing importance of digital heritage preservation. Online Memorials provides a unique platform for celebrating the lives of everyday Australians, and the Library’s commitment to archiving this website ensures that these stories are not lost to time.
