Recent Enhancements, News, and Activities

  • Storage. Work continues on migration of WAS storage to the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC). We are now moving the content at a rate of approximately 1 TB a day. Once it is all moved (estimated September 2014), then WAS code will be updated to allow for transfer to and retrieval from SDSC. The project completion date is estimated at Oct/Nov 2014.
  • New partner institution. Lawrence Hall of Science at UC Berkeley has joined WAS!

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.
