How the Web Was Won: Collaborative Approaches to Web Archiving
http://arlisna2015.sched.org/event/29e1d357e0fc1ab784cce5c949de17e9

Internet Archive's Jefferson Bailey and web archivists from NYARC, Columbia University, and the National Gallery of Art will demonstrate their experiences solving the 'humongousness' problem through collaboration.

Hope to see you there!

Dear Colleagues,

 

There is a fascinating article in the Jan. 26, 2015, issue of the New Yorker Magazine:

“The Cobweb: Archiving the Internet”, by Jill Lapore

 

http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2015/01/26/cobweb

 

It offers a good overview of the attempts to archive the internet and Web even as it grows more “humongouser” [her words!]. The relationship of these endeavors to libraries and to copyright issues are worth contemplating.
