Abstract
This chapter describes the efforts of the Digital Archive of Chinese Studies (DACHS) to counter government censorship in contemporary China and the consequent loss of relevant data in Chinese public discussions as well as in Chinese Studies journals. By creating archives of the controversies and voices that have been silenced, DACHS, according to Wagner, is able to reconstitute a Chinese public sphere in all of its variety and divisiveness.

DPC/PADI “What’s new in digital preservation” write: “Following their influential study published in Science in 2004 (vol. 302, pp. 787–788), Dellavalle and colleagues have produced more evidence of the volatility of Web references in the medical literature. Their recent studies have included references in oncology journals (Hester, et al., 2004) and the Internet citation policies of high-impact STM journals (Schilling, et al., 2004). These support other recent studies of URL references in the biomedical literature (Crichlow et al. 2004; Wren, 2004); the stability of Web references has also been cited as being a critical issue for the publication of clinical trials (Tumber and Dickersin, 2004, pp. 278–279). Bar-Ilan and Peritz (2004) have provided a similar analysis of Web documents in the informetrics sub-discipline of information science.”
