Archive-It Overview and Tutoral

This presentation covers the web-archiving application Archive-It. Created in 2006 by the Internet Archive, this subscription services allows institutions to crawl and archive websites, which are hosted on the Internet Archive’s servers. In this podcast, I provide a brief overview of what Archive-It is, what it does, and why it might be a useful application for institutions interested in creating projects in the digital humanities. Drawing from my experience with Archive-It at Columbia University, I walk through the process for selecting and crawling websites, creating records, examining reports, and assessing the quality of crawls.
