The UK Web Archive contains sites that reflect the rich diversity of lives and interests throughout the UK'. It was founded in 2004 and is provided by the British Library in partnership with the National Library of Wales, JISC and The Wellcome Library.

Sites can be nominated for addition by filling in the following form: http://www.webarchive.org.uk/ukwa/info/nominate The criteria are sites "that are issued from a .uk or other UK geographic top-level domain, or; where part of the publishing process takes place in the UK". They're grabbing everything from .uk already, so it's the 2nd part that is most useful to tell them about. The form also requires contact info from the person submitting it.
