The British Library is to help preserve Antony Gormley's Fourth Plinth project for posterity in an online archive.
Millions have watched 2,400 ordinary men and women occupy the vacant Trafalgar Square plinth since 6 July.
Experts are working to capture the plinthers' profiles and public comments.
The venture closes at 8.59am tomorrow when Emma Burns, 30, a medical photographer from Darlington, will become the last person on the plinth, where she will remember the victims of the Hillsborough football disaster.
Alison Hill, curator of web archiving at the British Library, said the project said "something significant" about today's society.
"I think it represents the democratising tendency of current society where the man in the street has a chance to have his say," she said.
