WARC Preservation Community Discussion with the Digital Preservation Coalition
Tue 14 Jun 2022 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM BST
Online, Zoom
Description
The BitCurator Consortium and the Digital Preservation Coalition’s Web Archiving & Preservation Working Group are hosting a community discussion on preservation of WARCs (the Web ARChive file format) on June 14 at 12pm ET | 4pm UTC. (See your local time for this event)
The digital curation community has discussed at length how to collect websites as WARC files, but what is the next step in the preservation workflow for these types of files? There is no one-size-fits-all approach to preserving WARCs, and questions of organization, structure, metadata, and access emerge when considering the options. Web archives may be your core focus, or they may exist in the context of a range of digital preservation activities. No matter what your – or your organization’s – situation is, we’d love to hear from you and learn more about what you’re doing and the questions you’re facing.
