Description:

In this session will instructors will introduce and demonstrate tools used to capture and preserve various kinds of web content. The class will begin with a description of the WARC (Web ARChive) format, along with tools that can create WARC files. After that, the class will review tools used to preserve various social media content. Best practices for describing web content, and challenges in description, will also be addressed in the session.

Most tools demonstrated in the class will be freely available so they can be used after the class at no further cost to the institutions, but the class will also include discussion of paid alternatives for archiving web content.
