The International Internet Preservation Consortium (IIPC) has selected the PADICAT project (Digital Heritage of Catalonia), which is being led by the Biblioteca de Catalunya, as a model of Web Archive, in its section "Featured Members", whose goal is to show to the international community a reference digital resource.

The Office of Strategic Initiatives of the Library of Congress, Communication Responsible for the IIPC, has emphasized the role of PADICAT in presenting the data gathered in the special collection dedicated to the local elections in Catalonia during 2007.

The IIPC, in which the National Library of Catalonia participates, brings together the 26 leading institutions in the preservation of the Internet with the purpose of sharing knowledge in order to make the current Internet available to coming generations. 

The project is planning in the following weeks to widen its searching capabilities through a theme directory that completes the full text search, which allows users to access to the 34 million files of the digital archive.
