Participants responsible for own transportation (allow 30 minutes).
Workshop Leaders: Kate Odell and Lori Donovan, Internet Archive.
The focus of this workshop will be on archiving web content analogous to (and increasingly taking the place of) the kind of printed ephemera traditionally housed in vertical files. It will approach the challenges of digital preservation and web archiving from the perspective of institutions accustomed to preserving and providing access to document collections of artists' files, as described by ARLIS/NA's Artists Files Working Group. Practical experience of web archiving gained over the past year will be provided - including lessons learned, challenges, success stories - from ARLIS/NA member libraries using Internet Archive's Archive-It service.
