UNESCO - The United Nations' Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization has a great deal of information and funding available for preserving information digitally. One project hopiung to acces some ofg that funding is a partner of Wikipedia's - Project Andria at FreeArchive.org.
The project hops to maintain a free, public archive of non-licensed material in digtial format to prevent its loss or corruption as technology evolves. It's hard to picture the value in the present, but as time proceeds, archives like this will contain a much more detailed history of our time period than any previous generations. The sheer amount of daily life, polictics, culture and historical events will give doctoral students of history that much more to work with.
If you have archived digital materials that you feel would be appropriate, you can contribute them online. If you have a strong belief in the project, they also accept donations. To those who've realized that UNESCO gets links from the UN and links to Andria, I urge you not to spam the wiki at FreeArchive - it's bad karma, people.
