Archiving websites has been the subject of several international
projects over the last few years, although they tend to approach
archiving from a library and post-production perspective rather than an
institutional records management perspective. I have a small paper on
this subject that will be presented in poster form at WWW2006 and posted
on my staff webpages - http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/ukoln/staff/m.pennock/ -
in the next few weeks.
WRT a UK model, the UK Web Archiving Consortium is a great place to
start - http://www.webarchive.org.uk/
If you want some articles and information on other national approaches,
have a browse through articles and info on the NLA PADI (Preserving
Access to Digital Information) webpages on Web Archiving -
http://www.nla.gov.au/padi/topics/92.html This site is highly
recommended as it contains a wealth of infomration about different
approaches.
I would also recommend that you look through the proceedings from the
recent Digital Curation Centre (DCC) workshop on Future-Proofing
Institutional Websites - http://www.dcc.ac.uk/events/fpw-2006/ and the
related discussions on the DCC forum -
http://forum.dcc.ac.uk/viewtopic.php?p=284&sid=b1a449cfa66fcd21355fdd85bf6ca341
best wishes,
Maureen.
