The Digital Preservation Training Programme is pleased to announce the date of a new course, ‘DPTP: Web Archiving 101' to be delivered on 12th May 2015.
Course Overview
This course is aimed at anyone who has a specific interest in capturing, selecting and using web content for any kind of research and who also need to ensure that web content can persist and endure in an accessible and useable preservation environment.
The course will teach the basics of web archiving. It will explore who is doing web archiving currently, why it can be useful, who uses web archives and for what purposes. It will explain the selection process for content, investigate records management and business needs, look at available tools and consider outsourcing as an option. It will also cover legal aspects of web archiving and the issues around the archiving of social media.
