2024 Fall DLC: End of Term Web Archive: Harvesting and Preserving the Federal Government Web Domain
Speakers
- James R. Jacobs, U.S. Government Information Librarian, Stanford University
Description
The End of Term (EOT) Web Archive captures and saves U.S. Government websites at the end of presidential administrations. The EOT has thus far preserved websites from administration changes in 2008, 2012, 2016, and 2020 and is currently accepting URL nominations for the End of Term 2024 Web Archive. Members of the project team from Stanford University and the Library of Congress will speak about the history of the project and how it came about, the nomination and archiving process and timeline, and how researchers can use archived Federal .gov data from the archive. Come learn how you can get involved in preserving the .gov domain!
