EDUCAUSE Live! April 18, 2006 1:00 p.m. EDT (12:00 p.m. CDT, 11:00 a.m. MDT, 10:00 a.m. PDT); runs one hour Archiving and Preserving the WebSpecial Guests
Prior to joining the Internet Archive, Avery worked as a fast food cashier, theme park ride attendant, university recycling coordinator, gopher developer, vice president of a software company, graduate student in sociology, software engineer, and research scientist—but not all at the same time. He has a BA in interdisciplinary studies from the University of Virginia.
Kristine Hanna is the program director for Archive-It, a new service that works with partners to develop distinct Web archives and curated collections. She has worked on the Internet since 1997, when she co-founded GirlGeeks, a career site for women in technology. For the past four years she has held senior-level and management positions in online content and business development at Hire.com and Digital Think. Before starting GirlGeeks, Kristine worked extensively in film and television and attended USC's School of Cinema and Television. She earned two team Emmy Awards and two individual Emmy nominations as the visual effects producer on "The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles." SummaryYour host, Steve Worona, will be joined by Dan Avery and Kristine Hanna, and the topic will be "Archiving and Preserving the Web." Libraries and archives have long collected information to serve scholars in understanding history, culture, and society. Today, Web pages have replaced newsletters; blogs have supplanted diaries; and many government forms and documents are more readily accessible on the Web than in paper form. As part of an effort to appropriately document and capture today's information for tomorrow's use, institutions must adopt a Web archiving strategy. Fortunately, Archive-It takes much of the burden out of the task. Archive-It is a Web application uniquely designed for the needs of university and government institutions interested in preserving Web content. The application allows organizations with limited infrastructure and technical staff to collect, catalog, search, and manage archived Web content through a Web interface. Built on open source components by the Internet Archive and the International Internet Preservation Consortium, Archive-It creates and stores the ARC files that are the standard format for Web archiving. In this presentation, two representatives from the Internet Archive will discuss the Archive-It project. Related EDUCAUSE Resources
