The Future of Web Archiving

The Future of Web Archiving

Web archiving

This video showcases six presenters discussing the future of web archiving. Presenters include Stephen Abrams (California Digital Library), Martin Klein (Los Alamos National Laboratory), Jimmy Lin (University of Maryland) and Michael Nelson (Old Dominion University). Topics include preservation of web content and resolving archival access to the general public. Despite the advancements in web archiving there still remains many challenges. The presenters reflect not only on the present condition of web content, preservation, and access but also on its future progress. One major preservation concern going forward is the notion of the “personalized web.” With the ability to apply many filters, it is important to identify and collect the primary source materials.
