The Archive-it team announced today the publication of their White Paper Web Archiving Life Cycle Model. The model offers a thorough description of the entire process of Web archiving. Whether you’ve been Web archiving for 7 years or mulling about jumping in to the fray, this model will put you in a good headspace to do this critical work. Thanks Molly Bragg, Kristine Hanna, Lori Donovan, Graham Hukill, and Anna Peterson!
The Archive-It team is excited to publish our first white paper: The Web Archiving Life Cycle Model. With this paper we hope to share web archiving best practices and processes with organizations interested in developing and/or expanding their web archiving initiatives.
This white paper is the product of a collaboration between members of the Archive-It team as well as the larger Archive-It partner community. Several partners took part in in-depth interviews regarding their experiences using Archive-It and web archiving in general, and others helped with the design iteration phase of the model and read preliminary drafts of the paper.
The Web Archiving Life Cycle Model encompasses the following web archiving processes:
• Vision and Objectives
• Resources and Workflow
• Access/Use/Reuse
• Preservation
• Risk Management
• Appraisal and Selection
• Scoping
• Data Capture
• Storage and Organization
• Quality Assurance and Analysis
