WebCite used to be, but is no longer, a member of the IIPC.[6] In a 2012 message, its founder Gunther Eysenbach commented that "WebCite has no funding, and IIPC charges 4000 Euro/yr in membership fees."[7]

Projects

[edit | edit source]

The IIPC sponsors and collaborates on a number of different projects with its member organizations.

Current projects

[edit | edit source]
  • Support for transitioning to pywb (Python Wayback).[8]
  • Collaborative Collections: IIPC members are collaborating to build public web archive collections based on transnational themes or events of mutual interest. Topics of existing collections include: European Refugee Crisis, Intergovernmental Organizations, Olympics, World War I Commemoration, Climate Change, Artificial Intelligence, and Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19).[9]
  • Memento: aggregate metadata of the IIPC archives and provide access to Memento.[10]

IIPC also maintains an electronic mailing list open to anyone interested in issues associated with web harvesting, archiving, and quality maintenance issues.[11]

Past projects

[edit | edit source]
  • Developing Bloom Filters for Web Archives’ Holdings.[12]
  • Improving the Dark and Stormy Archives Framework by Summarizing the Collections of the National Library of Australia[13]
  • LinkGate: Core Functionality and Future Use Cases.[14]
  • Asking questions with web archives – introductory notebooks for historians: The project output is a set of 16 Jupyter notebooks that demonstrate how specific historical research questions can be explored by analysing data from web archives.[15][16][17]
  • IIPC sponsored a project on "cross-archival search strategies" which included the creation of an archive focused on the 2010 Winter Olympics.[18]
  • Starting in 2006, the National Library of New Zealand and the British Library developed the Web Curator Tool, an open-source workflow management system for selective web archiving. Since 2017 the Royal Library of the Netherlands has collaboratively developed the tool with the National Library of New Zealand. Version 3.2.1[19] was released in August 2024, and is available at GitHub.[20] The Web Curator Tool is built upon Java and utilizes Internet Archive’s technology, the Heritrix web archiving crawler, and replay tools such as OpenWayback[21] and Pywb.[22]
  • IIPC Web Archiving Doctoral Support Award: grant to provide three years of funding for a student to earn a PhD in Interdisciplinary Information Science at The University of North Texas College of Information.[23]
  • IIPC Member Staff Exchange: onsite training by experts for participating IIPC members to use Heritrix 3 web crawler.[24]
  • Working group on Statistics and Quality Indicators for Web Archiving: development of guidelines on the management and evaluation of Web archiving activities and products.[25]
