What If Web Archiving Were as Reliable As Pushing a Simple Button?
Chloé Martin, France Lasfargues and Leïla Medjkoune, Internet Memory Foundation, France
Abstract
Web content is, by nature, ephemeral: sites are constantly disappearing; others are frequently updated, involving the removal of online information. This medium continues to grow in our society: many museums and cultural heritage institutions are developing websites with a variety of content (videos, forums, blogs, online exhibitions, catalogues) creating a large media-centric Web sphere of unique value. As with any other medium before, it is becoming essential to preserve this Web sphere of cultural and historical value. From this point of view, Web archiving is becoming a key part of today's heritage conservation.
