2017 update: https://blogs.loc.gov/loc/2017/12/update-on-the-twitter-archive-at-the-library-of-congress-2/ https://blogs.loc.gov/loc/2017/12/update-on-the-twitter-arch... Today, we announce a change in collections practice for Twitter. Effective Jan. 1, 2018, the Library will acquire tweets on a selective basis—similar to our collections of web sites. The Library will continue to preserve and secure its collection of tweet text. The Twitter collection will remain embargoed until access issues can be resolved in a cost-effective and sustainable manner. The Library will work with Twitter to acquire tweets on a selective basis.
