[Eril-l] [EXTERNAL] World Digital Library

[Electronic Resources in Libraries discussion list]

Here is the direct link on the LOC website: https://www.loc.gov/collections/world-digital-library/

In "About this Collection", it states:

In 2020, the WDL Charter concluded. In 2021, after more than 10 years of operation, the Library transitioned WDL’s world-wide collection of cross-cultural treasures into a sustainable home for perpetual access on the Library of Congress’s main website. The original World Digital Library site<https://www.loc.gov/item/lcwaN0018836/> is preserved by the Library of Congress Web Archive, which captures the look and feel of the site. Now available on the Library’s main website, the collection is a rich and valuable resource showing the diversity of the world’s cultures through the contributions of hundreds of organizations.

WDL is part of Library of Congress. It does not have a URL anymore as far as I could tell, but you can find it among the Library of Congress's resources.

Good morning!

Maybe I'm way out of the loop, but does anyone know if World Digital Library has a new URL or if the content is being hosted elsewhere? We have this resource on our A-Z list, but the link isn't resolving as of yesterday. I'm curious if anyone knows anything..?

Our current link is https://www.wdl.org/en/<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.wdl.org/en/__;!!MTWKpDe2aQ!LhcAETJJCDGFOwq5PE9VPYGBX-yFpZW0AHNndf33Ntpn9JMq2HdaOZ3gTVa8a2aqy2LAcXsKSQWzvg_oMY1PWXg$>. Anyone else having problems opening it?

Thanks in advance for your help!
