Description:
For a number of years, the citizens of New York State have engaged in a rich debate concerning the prospect of hydraulic fracturing in the Marcellus Shale. While some of the discussion and events have been captured by news outlets, much of the information is appearing on web sites and social media. Unfortunately, web sites disappear over time and important content can vanish. To ensure that this important trove of information is available to future generations of scholars, the Cornell University Library is creating a permanent archive of the web sites concerned with the issue of hydraulic fracturing in New York.

Description:
New York State is poised to become a leader in planning for and adapting to the impacts of climate change. Climate change science is a broad and diverse field, and sorting through and understanding the amount and detail of scientific information available is a challenge to scientists, engineers, policy makers and practitioners alike. To address these challenges the Northeast States for Coordinated Air Use Management (NESCAUM), Cornell University, State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry (SUNY-ESF) and the federal National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) have teamed up to create the New York Climate Change Science Clearinghouse (NYCCSC). Funded by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), the NYCCSC will be a regional, web-based interface for accessing data, documents, maps and information relevant to climate change adaptation and mitigation across New York State. Because the site is meant as a portal for discovery of a broad range of information held and maintained elsewhere, this collection will serve as an archive of the changing content climate change websites relevant to and discoverable via the NYCCSC.

Description:
The 2022 report, Captive Labor: Exploitation of Incarcerated Workers created by the ACLU, points out that two of every three incarcerated people (nearly 800,000 people) are workers within the federal and state prison systems. Yet, because the 13th Amendment protects against slavery and involuntary servitude except as punishment for a crime, those workers do not enjoy the same protections as workers on the outside. Minimum wage laws, the right to collective bargaining and unionization, and even worker safety laws do not apply to those working in American prisons. This webarchive seeks to capture the sites created by state and federal governments to promote and sell products made in prisons; sites created by groups that support the self-organization of incarcerated workers; and sites created by entities that advocate for improvements in the working conditions of incarcerated people.
