We will be joined by Michael L. Nelson, professor of Computer Science at Old Dominion University in the United States, who will share his thoughts on trustworthy web archiving.
Making functional and accurate copies of web pages for use in archives is challenging to say the least. Link rot and content drift have always been a part of the web experience: as we share links and create bookmarks, the content at those links often disappears
or changes so much that it no longer reflects our original intent.
Currently, we see this with increasing frequency with entire government websites disappearing or radically altering their content to reflect changing priorities and narratives. In the absence of a unified and consistent strategy, alternate archives and data
rescue efforts have arisen to replace the content lost. But how do we know the new pages faithfully maintain the content of the pages they purport to replace? In this talk, we explore how a network of accessible, publicly available, independent, interoperable,
robust, auditable, cooperating web archives can be used to preserve the web.
