A University of Alberta librarian is part of a global effort to help preserve Ukrainian websites and archives as Russia invades the country.

Canadians are among those involved in a global mission to preserve digital content and data from Ukraines cultural heritage institutions, under threat by Russian President Vladimir Putins invasion of the country nearly two months ago.

A global team of around 1,300 librarians and archivists, including Canadians, are part of project that has so far captured and preserved more than 2,500 Ukrainian museum and library websites that are at risk of being lost from the Russian invasion.
