Thank you for your email of 30 June 2022, seeking clarification in relation to the above.
You had asked whether:
• The Internet Archive agreement related to the Overseas Published Collection[s] has
been cancelled, or modified or is still running as was previously and;
• If modified, you wish to receive a complete and updated list of the books selected for
this agreement.
The Internet Archive agreement has not been cancel ed or modified. No action has been
taken in relation to the agreement. The donation of titles to the Internet Archive is on hold,
as, noted in my previous response to you, the National Library is reconsidering its plan for
the Overseas Published Collections.
