10 Small Scale Academic Web Archiving: DACHS
10 Small Scale Academic Web Archiving: DACHS Hanno E. Lecher Leiden University [email protected] 10.1 Why Small Scale Academic Archiving? Considering the complexities of Web archiving and the demands on hard- and software as well as on expertise and personnel, one wonders whether such projects are only feasible for large scale institutions such as national libraries, or whether smaller institutions such as museums, university depart- ments and the like would also be able to perform the tasks required for a Web archive with long-term perspective. Even if the answer to this is yes, the question remains whether this is necessary at all. One could think that the Internet Archive in combination with the efforts of the increasing number of national libraries is already covering many, if not most relevant Web resources. Does academic or other small scale Web archiving make sense at all? Let me begin with this second question. The Internet Archive has done groundbreaking work as the first initiative attempting comprehensive archiv- ing of Web resources. Its success in accomplishing this has been revolution- ary, and it has laid the foundation on which many other projects have built their work. Still, examining what the Internet Archive and other holistic pro- jects1 can achieve it is easy to discover some limitations. Since their focus of collection is very broad, they have to rely on robots for a large part of their collecting activities, automatically grabbing as many Web pages as possible. This kind of capturing is often very superficial, missing parts located further down the tree, many pages being downloaded incompletely, and some file types as well as the hidden Web being ignored altogether. -
Selection in Web Archives: the Value of Archival Best Practices
WITTENBERG: SELECTION IN WEB ARCHIVES Selection in Web Archives: The Value of Archival Best Practices Jamie Wittenberg, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, United States of America Abstract: The abundance of valuable material available online has mobilized the development of preservation initiatives at collecting institutions that aim to capture and contextualize web content. Web archiving selection criteria are driven by the limitations inherent in harvesting technologies. Observing core archival principles like provenance and original order when establishing collection development policies for web content will help to ensure that archives continue to assure the authenticity of the materials they steward. Keywords: Web Archives; Archival Theory; Digital Libraries; Internet Content; Selection and Appraisal Introduction The abundance of valuable material available online has mobilized the development of preservation initiatives at collecting institutions that aim to capture and contextualize web content. Methodologies for web collection practices are institution and collection-specific. Among institutions charged with preserving cultural heritage, web archiving has become commonplace. However, the disparity between institutional selection and appraisal criteria reveals the absence of standardization for web archive establishment. The Australian web archive, for example, accessions content that it evaluates as having long-term research value. The Library of Congress web archive, represented by its Minerva team, established a collection -

The Department consists of four units—Preservation Services; Digital Reformatting & Microfilm Services (DRMS); Conservation & Exhibition Services (CES) including Collections Conservation & Housing (CCH), Special Collections Conservation (SCC) and Exhibit Production Support (EPS); and Digital Preservation Services. The Department organizational chart can be found in Appendix I, the annual statistics for the Department can be found in Appendix II. 344 Winchester moving & more construction The construction of that portion of the department associated with the Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript (BRBL) Technical Services construction was completed during the first quarter of FY16. The move for Preservation Administration, Preservation Services, and Digital Preservation Services took place in August 2015. Those moves went smoothly and the units settled into the new spaces. Digital Preservation Services moved all of their equipment into their new spaces and spent the year making significant use of the enlarged work areas. Digital Preservation and the Born Digital Working group collaborated on the specifications for the new di Bonaventura Digital Archeology and Preservation laboratory. -

Web Archiving Supplementary Guidelines
LIBRARY OF CONGRESS COLLECTIONS POLICY STATEMENTS SUPPLEMENTARY GUIDELINES Web Archiving Contents I. Scope II. Current Practice III. Research Strengths IV. Collecting Policy I. Scope The Library's traditional functions of acquiring, cataloging, preserving and serving collection materials of historical importance to Congress and the American people extend to digital materials, including web sites. The Library acquires and makes permanently accessible born digital works that are playing an increasingly important role in the intellectual, commercial and creative life of the United States. Given the vast size and growing comprehensiveness of the Internet, as well as the short life‐span of much of its content, the Library must: (1) define the scope and priorities for its web collecting, and (2) develop partnerships and cooperative relationships required to continue fulfilling its vital historic mission in order to supplement the Library’s capacity. The contents of a web site may range from ephemeral social media content to digital versions of formal publications that are also available in print. Web archiving preserves as much of the web‐based user experience as technologically possible in order to provide future users accurate snapshots of what particular organizations and individuals presented on the archived sites at particular moments in time, including how the intellectual content (such as text) is framed by the web site implementation. The guidelines in this document apply to the Library’s effort to acquire web sites and related content via harvesting in‐house, through contract services and purchase. It also covers collaborative web archiving efforts with external groups, such as the International Internet Preservation Consortium (IIPC). -

Web Archiving and You Web Archiving and Us
Web Archiving and You Web Archiving and Us Amy Wickner University of Maryland Libraries Code4Lib 2018 Slides & Resources: https://osf.io/ex6ny/ Hello, thank you for this opportunity to talk about web archives and archiving. This talk is about what stakes the code4lib community might have in documenting particular experiences of the live web. In addition to slides, I’m leading with a list of material, tools, and trainings I read and relied on in putting this talk together. Despite the limited scope of the talk, I hope you’ll each find something of personal relevance to pursue further. “ the process of collecting portions of the World Wide Web, preserving the collections in an archival format, and then serving the archives for access and use International Internet Preservation Coalition To begin, here’s how the International Internet Preservation Consortium or IIPC defines web archiving. Let’s break this down a little. “Collecting portions” means not collecting everything: there’s generally a process of selection. “Archival format” implies that long-term preservation and stewardship are the goals of collecting material from the web. And “serving the archives for access and use” implies a stewarding entity conceptually separate from the bodies of creators and users of archives. It also implies that there is no web archiving without access and use. As we go along, we’ll see examples that both reinforce and trouble these assumptions. A point of clarity about wording: when I say for example “critique,” “question,” or “trouble” as a verb, I mean inquiry rather than judgement or condemnation. we are collectors So, preambles mostly over. -
