In light of the horrible and heart-breaking situation in the Ukraine, I wanted to share this recent initiative with the CNI community, which describes itself as

"We are a group of cultural heritage professionals – librarians, archivists, researchers, programmers – working together to identify and archive at-risk sites, digital content, and data in Ukrainian cultural heritage institutions while the country is under attack. We are using a combination of technologies to crawl and archive sites and content, including the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine, the Browsertrix crawler and the ArchiveWeb.page browser extension and app of the Webrecorder project."

See

for more information and ways to participate in the work; right now, I don't have much more information about the initiative. I also note that importantly they are trying to collect information on related initiatives going on elsewhere, see

https://www.sucho.org/other-efforts

and they'd be grateful for information on additional efforts.
