Cara Howe, CLRC Professional Development Award Recipient, Talks About the Introduction to Web Archiving Course from the iSchool at UW-Madison
So much of the archival record is digital and this expands beyond electronic documents to include coded web pages and embedded content. Preserving these interfaces is a distinct skill set, which archivists are cultivating. With support from a CLRC Development Award, I was able to complete a two-month course offered by the iSchool at UW-Madison. Introduction to Web Archiving was taught by Samantha Abrams, the Web Resources Collection Librarian for Ivy Plus Librarians and encompassed all the essential components of basic web archiving.
