Web Archiving Services
How to Archive
There are many tools available to help you do your own web archiving. We have listed a few below. Contact us at digitize@ucalgary.ca about adding your WARC files to our Web Archive Collections.
For more information on national and international web archiving efforts see:
- Canadian Web Archiving Coalition http://www.carl-abrc.ca/advancing-research/digital-preservation/cwac/
- International Internet Preservation Consortium http://netpreserve.org/
When doing any web archiving we recommend:
- seeking permission from the site owner/copyright holder
- determining if the site contains 3rd party materials under copyright and getting appropriate permission to capture those materials
- following Terms of Service and understanding any applicable Privacy or Copyright Policies
