GPLL237 - Introduction to Web Archiving with Webrecorder

This workshop will focus on “human scale” archiving of websites and social media with Webrecorder, a free and open-source browser-based web archiving software. The workshop will give an introduction to some fundamental concepts and tools in web archiving, including a comparison between crawler-based approaches and those enabled by smaller-scale but higher-fidelity tools like Webrecorder. Participants will then apply this knowledge to create their own web archives using Webrecorder, which can be re-played, preserved, and examined independently of what happens to the sites captured on the live web. No prior knowledge or technical skills are required.


Learning Objectives


In this workshop, participants will:
1. Learn the fundamental concepts and terminology of web archiving;
2. Learn how to use Webrecorder to create web archives of sites on the live web for free;
3. Create a web archive in the WARC format from a website of their choosing; and
4. Learn about software that can be used to replay and study web archives offline.


Leaders Information



This workshop will be led by Tim Walsh.
