The Library of Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) has developed the special website on Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Station accident from April 4, 2011. This website disseminates over 11,000 bibliographic and full-text records, such as JAEA's research results, academic journal articles, conference papers, technical reports and web information. Through this activity, we found several challenging issues. First, to organize information in a systematic manner is important, and subject and bibliographic control leads to the improvement of user-friendliness. Second, information on the internet has a specific problem such as access URLs might be changed or deleted. In order to ensure accessibility of information source, it is desirable that the public institutions crawl internet websites and preserve original information. In this presentation, we introduce the special website on Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Station accident and discuss some challenging issues to develop archive.
