Home of the Rainbowfish is now officially archived in the National Library
in Canberra.

>Dear Adrian
>
>Last year the National Library corresponded with you by e-mail regarding the
>inclusion of the History of Rainbowfishes web site and the Rainbowfish
>On-line web pages in the National Library's electronic archiving project. I
>am delighted to inform you that both titles are now publicly available in
>the PANDORA archive.
>
>The publications have been catalogued and the records for the titles are in
>the National Library's online public access catalogue. Access to your
>titles in the archive is via a 'hot link' from a special field in the
>catalogue record. Both the URL for the original sites and the PURL for the
>archived versions are provided in the catalogue record. This means that
>users may choose to access either version. Should the reader opt to go to
>the Library's archive, a title entry screen will appear, giving information
>about the title. This includes the name of the publication, a list of
>issues or versions held in the archive, links to your copyright statement
>and a general copyright warning, and a statement on how frequently we gather
>the publication. We have provided another link to your live site, giving
>the reader a second opportunity to link to the most up to date version.
>
>History of Rainbowfishes may be located through a search of the National
>Library's catalogue, located at
