| | |  The writings of JKR to be archived in a digital repository?
The Scotsman reports that the National Library of Scotland plans to archive blogs, journals and e-mails written by leading Scots - with the possibility of including the online writings of J.K.Rowling. A £1.8million grant has been secured for the project which would store potential manuscripts of the 21st Century. Quote:
Simon Bains, the digital library manager of the NLS, said: "We won't be preserving everything - we'll select what appears to be of cultural significance from online journals, websites, blogs and e-mails.
"We'll be harvesting the work of prominent cultural figures, but also other interesting social history documents."

That sounds like a great way to show JK that's she loved by many and will be remembered through generation after generation!

That's a great idea to show just how much JKR's work has influenced today's society.

Wow! An archive of the most prominent Scots' online writings? I like the idea! It sounds interesting and it'd be nice for posterity to be able to see them.
