NOT
Why Archive the Web?
BUT
How to Archive the Web?
Who Should Archive the Web?
Who Pays for Archiving the Web?
How do People Navigate Web Archives?

Adventures in Web Archiving
Capturing born-digital content from auction house websites
2010 Pilot Project

What did we find?
• Diversity of formats: PDFs, XML, e-Catalogs,
embedded audio and video
• Dynamism of continuing resources
• Some sites forego legacy formats in favor of a
dynamic, comprehensive, database
• Some sites capture well, others not at all

Reframing Collections for a Digital Age: A Preparatory Study for Collecting and
Preserving Web-Based Art Research Materials
• $50,000 from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation
• 12 months, February 2012-January 2013
![Page 17: Making the Black Hole Gray: Implementing the Web Archiving of Specialist Art Resources](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052622/55940fb61a28abb4478b466a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Expected Outcomes and Benefits
(1) Find the ‘tipping point’ from analog to digital
(2) Recommendations to NYARC as to: what it should collect; best methods of web archiving; what partners to work with; how to address intellectual property, ethical and access issues
(3) Recommendation of appropriate changes to technical infrastructure to support digital capture, resource discovery, preservation and access
(4) Preparation of grant proposal for technical infrastructure upgrading
(5) Dissemination of results to the art libraries community

RECOMMENDATIONS
• Use Archive-It as the web archiving tool • Establish incremental growth of collections beginning with
high priority or high risk materials• Join the National Digital Stewardship Alliance (NDSA)• Develop a tool for open nominations for site selection• Investigate ways to further automate metadata creation• Use students for Quality Assurance• Develop levels of restricted access• Develop and maintain a framework of notifications and
requests • Large doses of collaboration

Making the Black Hole Gray: Implementing the Web Archiving of
Specialist Art Resources
• $340,000 from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation
• 2 years, October 2013- September 2015
![Page 20: Making the Black Hole Gray: Implementing the Web Archiving of Specialist Art Resources](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052622/55940fb61a28abb4478b466a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Five types of web content that mirror NYARC’s collecting strengths
• Born-digital auction catalogs
• Artists’ websites
• Born-digital catalogues raisonnés
• Art-rich websites
• Our own museums’ websites

TWO YEAR TO-DO LIST
• Temporary staff to test and formulate a sustainable workflow, including re-skilling and organizational changes
• Web archiving subscriptions to Archive-It (2TB) and Hanzo
• Consultants for putting metadata and content management principles into practice—ontologies appropriate to our scope and granularity
• Some case-by-case legal review
• Discovery layer interface for access
• Duracloud for preservation

COLLABORATION WILL BE REQUIRED FOR THE FUTURE OF ART BIBLIOGRAPHY
“As long as libraries and archives remain stymied by the plethora of issues involved in
archiving born-digital content and the daunting prospect of having to “do it all,” their
progress will continue to be slow. Inaction may impede the course of research and contribute
to the loss of important content. By leveraging specialized resources and expertise across the
archival and library communities, individual archives and libraries are far more likely to be
able to keep up with the onrush of born-digital content and actively further the course of
research.“
--Ricky Erway, OCLC Program Officer. Swatting the Long Tail of Digital Media: A Call for Collaboration—Sept. 2012 http://www.oclc.org/content/dam/research/publications/library/2012/2012-08.pdf
