Andy Worthington Archived by the British Library’s UK Web Archive
31.1.11
I’m delighted to report that my website Andy Worthington has been chosen by the British Library as part of its UK Web Archive.
As the curators explain:
The UK Web Archive contains websites that publish research, that reflect the diversity of lives, interests and activities throughout the UK, and demonstrate web innovation … There are millions of UK websites. They are constantly changing and even disappearing. Often they contain information that is only available online. Responding to the challenge of a potential “digital black hole”, the UK Web Archive is there to safeguard as many of these websites as practical. Its purpose is to collect, preserve and give permanent access to key UK websites for future generations … The archive is free to view, accessed directly from the Web itself and, since archiving began in 2004, has collected thousands of websites.
I regard this is a great honour, and a recognition of my work, and those interested in accessing the archive of my site (which was archived on January 12, and will be updated at regular intervals) can do so here. The page indexing the site is here, and see here for a BBC article about the UK Web Archive.
Andy Worthington is the author of The Guantánamo Files: The Stories of the 774 Detainees in America’s Illegal Prison (published by Pluto Press, distributed by Macmillan in the US, and available from Amazon — click on the following for the US and the UK) and of two other books: Stonehenge: Celebration and Subversion and The Battle of the Beanfield. To receive new articles in your inbox, please subscribe to my RSS feed (and I can also be found on Facebook and Twitter). Also see my definitive Guantánamo prisoner list, updated in July 2010, details about the new documentary film, “Outside the Law: Stories from Guantánamo” (co-directed by Polly Nash and Andy Worthington, and available on DVD here), my definitive Guantánamo habeas list and the chronological list of all my articles, and, if you appreciate my work, feel free to make a donation.
Who's still at Guantánamo?

I remember, on reading one of your articles years ago, I felt compelled to contact you. You wrote on a subject I knew well and you wrote with totally accuracy. I could find no mistakes at all. You have never let us down. You are a brilliant historian, Andy and now we can be assured that future generations are as well informed. It is such a great honour and well deserved, Andy. Congratulations.

Andy, thanks, well deserved, but it also puts on the public record the black stain of undeniable guilt, so that quisling historians will find it harder to paint a glorious picture of the various governments who carried out these criminal acts.

WOW! Thanks, everyone, for such supportive words. This is my first chance to get onto the Internet for around 10 hours, and I’m blown away!
I’m in the beautiful city of Krakow with Moazzam Begg and my friend Anna Minkiewicz who has organized the tour of “Outside the Law: Stories from Guantanamo” that begins tomorrow in Warsaw, and was out of touch until now getting from London to Stansted, coping with Ryanair, and then going for dinner in a lovely little restaurant with Moazzam and Anna and discussing Afghanistan, Africa, Guantanamo … It will be a fascinating trip, and I hope to be able to report along the way!
