– Patients/Sufferers (also first-person, also primarily blogs)
– Research
– Causes
– Treatment

NDSR@FSL: Looking Back
The Folger represents less than 13% of institutions conducting Web Archiving projects
As per the 2012 NDSA Web Archiving Survey Results
Shakespeare Festivals and Theatrical Companies
• Print directories could not keep up – 40 North American festivals in 1983* to over 300 websites currently in
the Folger collection
• Collection compliments Folger organization and user interests – Active Theatre program and loyal audience
