WAS Service Update: March 2013

Recent Enhancements, News, and Activities

• Upgrade to Wayback 1.7. We upgraded the version of Wayback (the tool that is used to replay web crawls). This has resulted in increased general reliability, as well as improved display.
• End of Term (EOT) Archive crawls. The final crawl for the EOT 2012 was completed by Internet Archive. Planning has started to transfer content to the Library of Congress and other partners. The CDL will be working later in the year with Internet Archive to merge the 2012 records with the 2008 site (http://eotarchive.cdlib.org/index.html). Background information available here:

WAS Service Description

The Web Archiving Service (WAS) enables librarians, archivists and researchers to capture, curate and preserve websites and web‐published materials. WAS makes it easy to build web archives, with scheduling and other tools to help manage your archive. You control public access to your archives and can configure the appearance and navigation of each archive. We also provide collection development consultation and help desk support for web archiving questions.
